532 nm picosecond pulse generated in a passively mode locked Nd:YVO4 laser

A diode-pumped continuous-wave (CW) mode-locked Nd:YVO4/KTP green laser with semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) is demonstrated. The maximum output power of CW mode-locked green laser is obtained to be 552 mW at the incident pump power of 7.25 W, corresponding to an optical-optical conv
