Abstract

We presented a diode end-pumped passively mode-locked Nd: YVO4 picosecond laser with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror home made. Choosing a low-transmission output coupler and extending the cavity length suppressed the Q-switching mode-locked tendency in V-shaped cavity. We observed the pulse trains gone with a continuous background which was decreased with the decreasing of pulse repetition rate. The stable continuous mode-locked pulse was attained. The pulse repetition rate was 80.4MHz and the corresponding spectrum width was measured to be 0.15nm.
