LD end pumped mode locked and cavity dumped Nd:YAP laser at 1.34 μm

► A LD end pumped actively mode locked, passively Q switched and cavity dumped Nd:YAP laser at 1.34 μm is demonstrated. ► Pulses with 160 μJ energy and less than 1 ns duration are obtained. ► It is increased to 1.44 mJ by a LD end pumped, double-passed Nd:YAP amplifier. ► Stimulate Raman scattering experiment is took with a PbWO4 crystal. ► Maximum of 286 μJ Raman output and 207 μJ first order Stokes at 1524 nm is obtained.
