English abstract:
We present experimental results with a 10W-Nd:YVO4-laser, which is Q-switched with a single crystal photo-elastic modulator made of LiTaO3. This allows a simple setup driven by voltage amplitudes in the order of 10 V. We observed stable and unstable pulse sequences. In stable operation a 127 kHz - pulse sequence with 70ns pulse width and 1100 W peak power was achieved, while the average power remained constant at 10W.
