Abstract
An xenon-lamp-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) Nd:YAG laser with Co:LMA saturable absorber at 1.3 μm is realized in a straight cavity. The modulation depth of mode locking pulse has reached 100%. The pulse energy and the pulse width of QML laser have been measured. The pulse width of the mode-locking laser is estamated to be 940 ps.
