Abstract This paper demonstrates the passively mode-locked Nd:GdVO4 laser operating on the 4$F_{3/2}$--$^4I_{9/2}$ transition at 912 nm by using a semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror for passive mode locking, stable continuous wave mode-locked 912 nm laser was achieved with a repetition rate of 176 MHz. At the incident pump power of 17.7 W, 22.6 mW average output power of stable mode-locked laser was obtained with a slope efficiency of 0.3%.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
