We passively {ital Q} switched a Nd:LaSc{sub 3}(BO{sub 3}){sub 4} microchip laser with an antiresonant Fabry{endash}Perot saturable absorber (A-FPSA) and achieved single-frequency, 180-ps pulses with 0.1 {mu}J of pulse energy at a repetition rate of 110 kHz. Because of the compactness and scaling possibilities offered by the A-FPSA, the pulse width can be varied from 180 ps to 30 ns and the repetition rate from 50 kHz to 7 MHz. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}
