Abstract
Passive -switching performance was found to be greatly improved by use of a new Nd-doped mixed vanadate crystal compared with that achieved with and . At an absorbed pump power of 12 W, an average output power of 2.78 W was obtained at a pulse repetition frequency of 15.4 kHz with an optical conversion efficiency of 23.2%, and the slope efficiency was determined to be 45.5%. The resulting pulse energy, peak power, and pulse width were , 26.6 kW, and 6.8 ns, respectively.
