Abstract: Simultaneous self-Q-switched and mode-locked have been demonstrated in a diode-pumped Nd,Cr:YAG laser. For the first time as we know, almost 100% modulation depth has been achieved at an intracavity intensity of 5.6×105 W/cm2. The maximum average output power of 6.52W corresponding to a slope efficiency of 30% is obtained at 1064nm. The laser produces high-quality pulses in a TEM00-mode at the pump power of 16.5W. The pulse duration of the mode-locked pulses is about 600ps with 136MHz repetition rate. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
