We describe the performance of a mode-locked and Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operating at 1.064 ..mu..m, optically pumped by a 500 mW diode laser. The cw mode-locked system provides bandwidth-limited pulses of 55 ps duration, with a corresponding peak power of 3.3 W. When Q-switched the energy within the 100 ns pulse envelope is 10 ..mu..J giving a peak power in the largest pulse of 7 kW. Preliminary results for operation at 1.32 ..mu..m are also reported.
