摘要: The continuous wave (CW) and passively Q-switched performances of Nd:LuAG crystal were demonstrated. With a laser diode as pump source, the CW output power 2.18 W was obtained under 4.62 W, corresponding to optical conversion efficiency 47.2% slope 52.2%. For Q-switching experiments, shortest pulse width, largest energy, highest peak measured be 12 ns, 50.6 μJ, 4.21 kW, respectively.
