Acousto-optically {ital Q}-switched diode-pumped lasers emit short pulses at kilohertz repetition rates. We describe a compact laser cavity design that employs either Nd:YLF or Nd:YAG and has all internal Brewster surfaces. Pulsed operation at 1.047, 1.053, 1.064, 1.313, 1.319, and 1.338 {mu}m is observed, with pulse widths ranging from 3 to 39 nsec at low repetition rates. The laser generates peak powers of 20 kW at 1.047 {mu}m and 1.7 kW at 1.321 {mu}m.
