Abstract
The comparison on performance of passively Q-switched laser properties of continuous-grown composite : and : crystals under direct pumping to the emitting level was demonstrated. A :YAG crystal was used as saturable absorber. At an incident pump power of , the average output power, the pulse width, the repetition rate, the pulse energy, and the peak power for a : laser were , , , , and , respectively. And for a : laser under the same conditions, these output characteristics were , , , , and , respectively.
