1.34 μm Q-Switched Nd:YVO4 Laser Based on Perovskite Film Saturable Absorber

Hybrid organic-inorganic methylammonium lead halide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite with a direct band gap has emerged as a material in the development of optoelectronic devices. Here, for the first time, at $1.34 similar to\mu \text{m}$ , we fabricated CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite film saturable absorbers by spin coating methods for passively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser. The CH3NH3PbI3-SA shows a damage threshold of 276.6 mJ/cm(2), a modulation depth of 18.2, and a considerably low saturation intensity of 140.7 KW/cm(2). By using CH3NH3PbI3-SA, a stable Q-switched laser with a maximum average output power of 182 mW and a pulse width of 181.6 ns can be obtained. These results reveal the promising application of CH3NH3PbI3 in 1.34 $\mu \text{m}$ -lasers, optical switches or optical modulators.
