Abstract

We report, for the first time to our knowledge, a diode-pumped passive Q-switched 946 nm Nd:YAG laser by using a GaAs as saturable absorber. The maximum average output power is 1.24 W at an incident pump power of 15 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 10%. Laser pulses with pulse duration of 70 ns and repetition rate of 330 kHz are generated.
