“…When the intracavity power density reaches the SRS threshold, the fundamental pulse is converted into the Stokes pulse and the rear part of the fundamental pulse descends rapidly. It can be seen that the nonlinear frequency-conversion process leads to the pulse shorting of the Stokes component, as mentioned in a previous work [20].…”

By using Nd:YVO4 as the gain medium and the Raman medium simultaneously, the actively Q-switched operation of the self-Raman Nd:YVO4 laser at 1176 nm was realized. The output characteristics including the average power, pulse energy and pulse width versus the incident pump power and pulse repetition rate were investigated. At a pulse repetition rate of 20 kHz an average power up to 0.57 W was obtained with the incident pump power of 10.2 W, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 5.6% with respect to the diode laser input power. Meanwhile, an analysis of the self-Raman Nd:YVO4 laser was carried out by using the rate equations. The obtained theoretical results were in agreement with the experimental results on the whole.
