Laser operation near 1.06 μm by diode-pumped Nd:(LuxGd1-x)3Ga5O12 (Nd:LGGG, with x = 0.1) and Gd3AlxGa5-xO12 (GAGG, with x = 1) disordered crystals has been investigated. Cw oscillation with a slope efficiency as high as 61% and 230 mW output power was achieved with 400 mW absorbed power from a 1-W laser diode in Nd:LGGG. Under the same pumping conditions cw oscillation with a slope efficiency as high as 55% and 255 mW output power was achieved with 500 mW absorbed power in Nd:GAGG. Stable passive mode-locking with single- or multi-wavelength spectrum was obtained with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SAM) and a single-prism, dispersion-compensated cavity with both the samples. Fourier-limited pulses with duration ≈ 4 - 9 ps and output power ≈ 40 mW were generated at three well-defined laser transitions in the range 1062-1067 nm with ND:GLGG. Two-color mode-locking regime well described by Fourier-limited synchronized pulses with duration ≈ 3.7 and 5.9 ps and output power ≈ 65 mW, with wavelength separation of 1.3 nm around 1062 nm was obtained with Nd:GAGG.
