A diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser was frequency doubled to 0.532 {mu}m with an intracavity KTiOPO{sub 4} crystal in a V-cavity arrangement, achieving an output power of 140thinspthinspW. Acousto-optic Q thinspthinspswitching was employed at repetition rates of 10{endash}30thinspthinspkHz, and the beam quality was assessed at M{sup 2}{approx}50 . It was deduced on the basis of our model that the strength of the nonlinear frequency conversion is the main parameter determining the pulse width. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital Optical Society of America}
