摘要
We demonstrated a compact self-starting nanosecond Yb:YAG/V:YAG solid-state laser with cylindrical vector beams output modulated by the intracavity mode converter S-waveplate experimentally. We can deliver the stable Q-switched pulse with the highest repetition rate 3.61 kHz and minimum pulse width 26 ns at the wavelength of 1030.07 nm with the help of the V:YAG crystal. In addition, the switchable radially and azimuthally polarized beams can be realized with polarization extinction ratios of 92.3% and 89.6%, respectively. The compact laser configuration can provide solutions for generating stable nanosecond structured light, and may benefit the applications like micro/nano material processing.
