Abstract
A low-loss semiconductor saturable absorber based on InGaAs quantum wells was developed for highly efficient Q switching of a diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser operating at . With an incident pump power of , an average output power of with a Q-switched pulse width of at a pulse repetition rate of was obtained.
