A passively Q-switched and mode-locked c-cut Nd:LuVO4 laser at 1.06 μm using Cr 4+ :YAG absorber has been successfully demonstrated. A nearly 100% modulation depth of mode-locking was achieved. At pump power of 12.04 W, the maximum average output power of 0.64 W and Q-switched pulse envelop repetition rate of 60 kHz were obtained with absorber's initial transmission of 96%, while the highest Q-switched pulse energy of 14.11 μJ was achieved with initial transmission of 60%. The duration of mode-locked pulse within Q-switched envelop was estimated to be 750 ps with 110 MHz repetition rate. 50.0% 50.0%An expanded mode-locked pulse within Q-switched pulse envelope
