摘要
A compact diode-pumped solid-state Tm:KY(WO4)2 laser with cavity length of 1 cm passively Q-switched with a PbS-quantum-dot-based saturable absorber is presented. The laser operates at the wavelength of 1.94 mu m and produces pulses with duration of 8 ns and energy of 30 mu J at the repetition rate up to 4.2 kHz. The maximum output power of 120 mW is achieved at incident pump power of 1.15 W. (C) 2012 by Astro Ltd., Published exclusively by WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA
