Q-switched and mode locked pulses generated from c-cut Nd:LuVO4

Abstract

Q-switched and mode locked pulses have been demonstraed in c-cut Nd center dot LuVO4 laser Using 80% initial transmittance of Cr4+ YAG and output coupler with 70% refleactane, large pulse energy of about 112 mu J has been demonstrated at 18 W pumping.
