Abstract
By considering the Gaussian spatial distribution of the intracavity photon density and initial population-inversion density as well as the longitudinal distribution of the photon density along the cavity axis and turnoff time of the acoustic-optic Q-switch, the coupled equations of an LD-pumped actively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser with acoustic-optic modulator are given. These coupled rate equations are solved numerically on a computer, and the dependences of pulse width, single-pulse energy and peak power on incident pump power are obtained. In the experiment, a laser-diode-pumped actively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser with acoustic-optic modulator is realized, and the experimental results are in fair agreement with the numerical solutions.
