Abstract We report on the acousto-optic Q-switched operation of a Ho:YAP laser double-passed pumped by an all-fiber Tm-doped fiber laser. The output characteristics of the Ho:YAP laser are studied at pulse repetition frequencies of 1, 2, 5 and 10 kHz. The shortest pulse width, the maximum pulse energy and the highest peak power are measured to be 17 ns, 1.71 mJ and 71.25 kW, respectively. The output wavelength is centered at 2115.96 nm with a bandwidth of about 1.5 nm. The beam quality factor M2=2.41±0.03 at the output power of 3.54 W was measured by using the traveling knife-edge method.
