Abstract
This paper describes a high pulse repetition frequency Nd:YAG twisted-mode laser that uses an RTP crystal as the electro-optic Q-switch. Stable single-longitudinal-mode laser beams at 1, 5, and 10 kHz were obtained with a linewidth less than 0.1 GHz. Under an incident pump power of 7.5 W and a PRF of 10 kHz, the maximum output power of the single-longitudinal-mode laser was 1.19 W. The corresponding conversion efficiency, single pulse energy and pulse peak power were 15.8%, 119 μJ, and 2.5 kW, respectively.
