| Abstract: | We demonstrated the first use of reflection-type single-walled carbon nanotube (RSWCNT) as a saturable absorber in the Q-switched
mode-locking (QML) of a diode pumped Tm:YAP operating at 2 μm. The spectrum of the QML laser is centered at 1.97 μm with a
broad spectral region of 36 nm. At the incident pump power of 10.33 W, as high as 432 mW average output power was produced
in QML laser. The repetition rate of the mode-locked pulse inside the Q-switched envelope was 158 MHz. The dependence of the
operational parameters on the pump power was also investigated experimentally. |
