PLD-grown Yb:Y2O3 waveguide laser Q-switched by a graphene saturable absorber
In this paper, we present an Yb-doped Y2O3 waveguide laser fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) that is Q-switched using a mono-layer graphene saturable absorber. 140 ns pulses at a repetition rate of 1.21 MHz and pulse energy of 14 nJ are achieved at an absorbed pump power of 528 mW. Introduction: Pulsed lasers have a range of applications in areas such as medicine, material processing,...
متن کاملImproving Blue InGaN Laser Diodes Performance with Waveguide Structure Engineering
To enhance lasers’ power and improve their performance, a model wasapplied for the waveguide design of 400 nm InGaN/InGaN semiconductor laser, whichis much easier to implement. The conventional and new laser structures weretheoretically investigated using simulation software PICS3D, which self-consistentlycombines 3D simulation of carrier transport, self-heating, and opt...
متن کامل320 fs Pulses from an Ultrafast Laser Inscribed Waveguide Laser Utilizing a Carbon Nanotube Saturable Absorber
We report the generation of sub-picosecond modelocked pulses from an ultrafast laser inscribed Er-doped waveguide laser. 320 fs pulses at a repetition rate of 40 MHz and energy of 31 pJ were facilitated via passive modelocking by a carbon nanotube saturable absorber.

متن کاملExperimental Study of a Flash-lamp Pumped Passively Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Using Cr4+:YAG Saturable Absorber
This paper deals with the experimental results of a xenon flash-lamp pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber. The need of a laser cavity to be integrated into a time-of-flight laser range finder is of great interest as an experimental investigation of several laser resonators. Two types of laser resonator, with different lengths, have been studied: the flat-fl...
متن کاملA Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser with a graphene saturable absorber - IOPscience
We demonstrate a simple, compact and low cost Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) exploiting a graphene saturable absorber (GSA) for possible applications in metrology, sensing and medical diagnostics. The EDFL operates at 1560 nm with repetition rates of 31.3 kHz and 25 kHz with GSA1 and GSA2, respectively, at pump power of 120 mW. The repetition rate is smaller with a lower pump power....
