Abstract
Passive Q-switching operation has been demonstrated with a class of mixed laser crystals. With respect to that obtained with , the passive Q-switching performance, including threshold, pulse energy, and peak power, was found to be greatly enhanced with the mixed vanadate crystals. The shortest pulse width of , largest pulse energy of , and highest peak power of were obtained at the incident pump power of with the mixed crystal for .
