摘要：

We report a passively Q-switched Ho:YVO4 laser pumped at 1.94 mu m with multilayer graphene as a saturable absorber. At the absorbed pump power of 9.3 W, the maximum average output power of 2.2 W was obtained in Ho:YVO4 laser with minimum pulse width of 265.2 ns and pulse repetition rate of 131.6 kHz at 2052.1 nm. In addition, a beam quality factor of M-2 similar to 1.7 was measured at the maximum output level. This is, as far as we know, the first time that graphene has been used in a passively Q-switched Ho:YVO4 laser.
