In this letter, a diode-pumped passively mode-locked Nd:Lu1.5Y1.5Al5O12 (Nd:LuYAG) laser is demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. With a semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror, a maximum output power of 0.85 W at 1064 nm was obtained under an absorbed power of 8.51 W, corre...
