“…Cr 4+ :YAG crystal has the merits of good thermal conductivity, high‐damage threshold and stable photochemical properties. Its wide absorption band from 0.9 to 1.2 μm and good saturable absorption characteristics is especially suitable for passive Q‐switching of Nd‐doped lasers at 1 micron waveband 28,29 . The c‐cut Nd:YVO 4 owns smaller cross section at 1066 nm with comparing to a‐cut counterpart, which also has advantages in Q‐switch operation for achieving narrow pulse width and high energy 20,30 .…”

Compact 589 nm yellow source was reported and generated from intracavity frequency-doubling of c-cut YVO 4 / Nd:YVO 4 /YVO 4 Raman laser. A Cr 4+ :YAG/YAG composite was adopted for compact passively Q-switching operation. Double-end composited Nd:YVO 4 crystal was designed to reduce the thermal effect and increase Raman crystal length. Both noncritical phase-matching (NCPM) LBO crystal and critical phase-matching (CPM) BBO crystal were used as frequency doubling crystal for comparison. 780 mW output power of 589 nm yellow emission was achieved with an incident pump power of 16 W. The pulse repetition frequency and pulse width were 41 kHz and 3.6 ns at the maximum output power, respectively. The results show passively Q-switched operation provides a compact method to obtain 589 nm yellow emission.

All-solid-state passively Q-switched lasers have advantages that include simple structure, high peak power, and short sub-nanosecond pulse width. Potentially, these lasers can be applied in multiple settings, such as in miniature light sources, laser medical treatment, remote sensing, and precision processing. Cr4+:YAG crystal is an ideal Q-switch material for all-solid-state passively Q-switched lasers owing to its high thermal conductivity, low saturation light intensity, and high damage threshold. This study summarizes the research progress on all-solid-state passively Q-switched lasers that use Cr4+:YAG crystal as a saturable absorber and discusses further prospects for the development and application of such lasers.
