摘要
Repetitively Q-switched operation was achieved with a Yb:YCa4O(BO3)(3) laser in a wide repetition rate range from 20 down to 0.1 kHz. An output power of 6.81 W at 20 kHz was generated with pulse duration of 42 ns; while operated at a low repetition rate of 0.1 kHz, the laser produced 0.53 W of output power with pulse width of 21 ns, the resulting pulse energy and peak power amounted respectively to 5.3 mJ and 252.4 kW.
