With a compact resonator, continuous-wave (cw) and Q-switched laser performances of Nd:LuVO 4 crystal was investigated. The maximum cw output power was 5.19 W. The shortest pulse width, largest pulse repetition rate, and largest pulse energy were measured to be 3.3 ns, 24.8 kHz, and 92.8 μJ, respectively, by using Cr 4+ :YAG crystals as the saturable absorbers. To our knowledge, this is the shortest passively Q-switched pulse width with Nd:LuVO 4 as the laser crystal. From the satellite pulse, the lifetime of the lower laser energy level of Nd:LuVO 4 was determined to be about 20 ns.
