Laser-diode pumped nearly diffraction-limited beam quality (M2<1.05), high peak power, subnanosecond passively Q-switched Yb:Y3Al5O12 ceramic miniature laser with Cr4+:Y3Al5O12 ceramic as saturable absorber has been achieved. The slope efficiency is as high as 36% for 80% initial transmission of Cr4+:Y3Al5O12 ceramic. The pulse width of 335ps and peak power of over 150kW at repetition rate of 5kHz were obtained. Laser oscillates at single-longitudinal-mode oscillation and wide-separated multilongitudinal-mode oscillation due to the combined etalon effect of the Cr4+:YAG thin plate and thin glass plate as output coupler.
