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 1123 nm. With an incident pump power of 16 W, an average output power of 3.1 W with a Q-switched pulse width of 77 ns at a pulse repetition rate of 100 kHz was obtained.
