Gold nanorods (GNRs) with surface plasmon resonance peak at 1063.8 nm were fabricated and experimentally exploited as the single and combined saturable absorber (SA) in a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for the first time. In the situation using GNRs as a single SA, the maximum pulse energy of 19 &#x03B...
