Abstract
A compact laser diode-pumped solid-state Nd:LuVO4 acousto-optic Q-switched laser is demonstrated at 916nm of a quasi-three level for the first time. A pulse width of 130ns is observed when the pulse-repetition frequency is 10kHz. The laser experiment shows that the Nd:LuVO4 crystal can be used for efficient diode-pumped Q-switched lasers.
