| Abstract: | A diode-pumped doubly Q-switched Nd:LuVO4 laser with an acousto-optic (AO) modulator and GaAs saturable absorber has been realized. The pulse profile of the doubly Q-switched Nd:LuVO4 laser has an almost absolutely symmetric shape. The dependences of pulse width, single-pulse energy and peak power on the incident pump power under different AO repetition rates are measured. By considering the transverse Gaussian distribution of the intracavity photon density and the longitudinal distribution of photon density along the cavity axis, the coupled rate equations of the laser are given. These coupled rate equations are solved numerically and the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental results. |
