Abstract
In this paper, a very high repetition-rate, short-pulse, electro-optical cavity-dumped Nd: YVO4 laser is experimentally and theoretically investigated. The laser performance is optimized from two aspects. Firstly, the laser resonator is designed for a good thermal stability under large pump power fluctuation through optics methods. Secondly, dynamics simulation as well as experiments verifies that cavity dumping at very high repetition rate has better stability than medium/high repetition rate. At 30Â W, 880Â nm pump power, up to 500Â kHz, constant 5Â ns, stable 1064Â nm fundamental-mode laser pulses can be obtained with 10Â W average output power.
