A Passive Q-Switched Microchip Er/Yb Glass Laser Pumped by Laser Diode

A laser-diode-pumped 1.54-μm passive Q-switched erbium doped glass laser was reported.

Efficient Laser-Diode End-Pumped Passively Q-Switched Mode-Locked Yb：LYSO Laser Based on SESAM

We report an efficient Q-switched laser action based on a semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors （SESAMs） as passively Q-switched laser starter and a Yb：LYSO alloyed crystal as gain material pumped directly by 974nm InGaAs laser diodes. The output pulse duration is measured to be about 7μs, while the average power and the repetition rate of the pulse chain are about 0.92 W and 6.2 kHz, respectively, under 12.5 W absorbed pumping power. The Q-switched mode-locked pulse train is also observed in this setup. The laser performance shows that Yb：LYSO is a promising laser gain medium for laser-diode pumped compact solid-state lasers.     

Q-Switched Raman Fiber Laser with Molybdenum Disulfide-Based Passive Saturable Absorber

We demonstrate a Q-switched Raman fiber laser using molybdenum disulfide(MoS_2) as a saturable absorber(SA).The SA is assembled by depositing a mechanically exfoliated MoS_2 onto a fiber ferrule facet before it is matched with another clean ferrule via a connector.It is inserted in a Raman fiber laser cavity with a total cavity length of about 8 km to generate a Q-switching pulse train operating at 1560.2 nm.A 7.7-km-long dispersion compensating fiber with 584 ps·nm~(-1)km~(-1) of dispersion is used as a nonlinear gain medium.As the pump power is increased from 395 mW to 422 mW,the repetition rate of the Q-switching pulses can be increased from 132.7 to137.4kHz while the pulse width is concurrently decreased from 3.35μs to 3.03μs.The maximum pulse energy of 54.3nJ is obtained at the maximum pump power of 422 mW.These results show that the mechanically exfoliated MoS_2 SA has a great potential to be used for puise generation in Raman fiber laser systems.
