Abstract
By use of a laser diode as a pump source, a self--switched laser from a Cr,Nd:YAG crystal is demonstrated. The output –switched traces are very stable, the threshold pump power is 3.5 W, the pulse duration is 50 ns, and the slope efficiency is as high as 20%. In addition, the pulse width remains constant while the pulse repetition rate varies with pump power.
