Acousto-optic (AQ) Q-switching devices with modulation loss of more than 90% at 1.06 μm wavelength have been developed for the first time. Detailed performance of the devices are described. In the Q-switch operation mode of pulsed YAG laser, output energies of 2.8 mJ to 108 mJ were obtained with pulse widths of 10 ns to 20 ns respectively.
