We report a stable low threshold self-Q-switched diode pumped 946nm Nd,Cr:YAG microchip laser operating in single frequency and fundamental transversal mode. The output characteristics of the microchip laser have been investigated under cw and pulsed pumping. The Q-switched pulses had a duration (FWHM) of 3.7ns and a pulse energy of 0.9µJ corresponding to a peak power of 240W. The slope efficiency of the infrared laser was 15%. Combining the infrared microchip and an external frequency doubler 473nm pulses with an energy of 0.12µJ and a peak power of 26W were achieved for 150W input pulses, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 18%. Intra-cavity frequency doubling experiements of the self-Q-switched laser are under development. V. Gaebler’s e-mail address is gaebler@physik.tu-berlin.de.
