Abstract
The actively Q-switched laser performance of the mixed Nd:Lu0.5Y0.5VO4 crystal was demonstrated for the first time. At the pump power of 7.26 W, the minimum pulse width of 46.6 ns was obtained at the pulse repetition rate of 5 kHz with the cavity length of 80 mm, and the single pulse energy and peak power were calculated to be 42 μJ and 901.3 W, respectively.
