Abstract

We report a pulsed 1.34 µm Nd:YVO4 microchip laser Q-switched with a GaInNAs/GaAs semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. Output power of 24 mW at a repetition rate of 2.3 MHz and pulse duration of 204 ps was achieved, which is to our knowledge, the first demonstration of a 1.34 µm microchip laser utilizing this type of quantum well absorber.
