Abstract
An acousto-optically Q-switched diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 1342 nm laser emits short pulses at kilohertz repetition rates. The laser generates a maximum average power of 1.14 W, peak power of 1.27 kW and pulse width of 56 ns (FWHM) at a pulse repetition rate of 15 kHz. With a LBO crystal as the frequency doubler outside the cavity, about 30 mW of 671 nm laser output is obtained.
