Abstract

A passively Q-switched Yb: YAG microchip laser has been constructed by using a doped GaAs as the saturable absorber as well as the output coupler. At 13.5 W of pump power the device produces high-quality 3.4 μJ 52 ns pulses at 1030 nm with a pulse repetition rate of 7.8 kHz in a TEM00-mode.
