We investigate the room-temperature Raman spectrum of monoclinic monazite-type LaVO4 (m-LaVO4) crystal and report a diode end-pumped intracavity actively Q-switched m-LaVO4 Raman laser. In this experiment, a fiber-coupled diode laser (LD) with a wavelength of 808 nm is used as a pumping excitation source, a Nd∶YAG crystal is used as a gain medium for generating a fundamental-frequency laser, and a quartz-acoustic-acoustic Q-switch is used as an active Q-switched component. A compact Fabry-Perot cavity composed by two Fabry-Perot mirrors produces a first-order Stokes pulsed laser with a wavelength of 1170.9 nm. When the input pump power is 6.51 W and the pulse repetition frequency is 30 kHz, the experiment produces the first-order Stokes laser with a maximum average power of 767 mW, the corresponding pulse width of 13.8 ns, the single pulse energy of 25.6 μJ and the peak power of 1.85 kW.
