The authors reported continuous wave (cw) and passively Q-switched laser performances of Nd:Lu0.5Gd0.5VO4 crystal at 1.06μm. cw output power of 6.65W was obtained under the incident pump power of 13.75W with slop efficiency of 51%. In the passively Q-switched operation, the shortest pulse width, largest pulse energy, and highest peak power were achieved to be 6.2ns, 192.5μJ, and 31.06kW, respectively, with Cr4+ doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystals as the saturable absorbers.
