  • Abstract
    In this paper, a diode-side-pumped acoustooptic Q-switched 1319-nm Nd:YAG laser is described. The output characteristics under the different repetition rates and output couplers have been studied. With a pumping power of 555 W, the average output power decreases from 94 W at 50 kHz to 71 W (slope efficiency 25.2%, optical conversion efficiency 12.8%) at 5 kHz. The highest peak power is up to 95 kW with the pulse duration of 150 ns at the repetition rate of 5 kHz.
