A diode-end-pumped, passively Q-switched, Nd:YAG laser with a monolayer graphene as saturable absober simultaneously emitting at 1319 and 1338 nm was demonstrated for the first time. The maximum output power, the minimum pulse duration and the highest repetition rate were 586 mW, 317 ns, and 102 kHz, respectively. The corresponding peak power was about 18.1 W. Key words: passively Q-switched, dual wavelength, monolayer graphene, diode-end-pumped, Nd:YAG. Nous presentons pour la premiere fois un laser Nd: YAG a commutation Qpassive et pompe par diode en extremite, avec une monocouche de graphene comme absorbant saturable, qui emet simultanement a 1319 et 1338 nm. La puissance maximale de sortie est 586 mW, la duree minimale de l'impulsion est de 317 ns et le plus haut taux de repetition est de 102 kHz. Le pic de puissance correspondant est de 18.1 W.
