Abstract

We reported a continuous-wave (CW) passively mode-locked Nd:Lu0.5Y0.5VO4 laser at 1064 nm. A partially reflective semiconductor saturable absorber mirror was exploited in the Z-typed resonator. The Nd:Lu0.5Y0.5VO4 laser generated CW mode-locked pulses with an average output power of 860 mW, a repetition rate of 53.7 MHz, and a pulse duration of 8.7 ps.
