In this paper, with Co2+:LaMgAl11O19 (Co2+:LMA) crystals as the saturable absorber, the efficient passively Q-switched laser performance of a diode-end-pumped Nd:Gd3AlxGa5-xO12 (Nd:GAGG) laser at 1.33 mu m has been realized. Under the absorbed pump power of 8.2 W, a maximum average output power of 450 mW was recorded with a Co2+:LMA crystal with an initial transmission of 90%. The minimum pulse duration was 14.6 ns, corresponding to the repetition rate of 3 kHz, the single pulse energy of 110 mu J and the pulse peak power of 7.1 kW.
