Passive Q-Switching of a Diode-Pumped Pr:LiYF<sub>4</sub> Visible Laser Using WS<sub>2</sub> as Saturable Absorber

Passive Q-Switching of a Diode-Pumped Pr:LiYF<sub>4</sub> Visible Laser Using WS<sub>2</sub> as Saturable Absorber

Q-switched laser operation of a blue-diode-pumped Pr:LiYF<sub>4</sub> laser is demonstrated at 640 nm for the first time by using a tungsten disulfide (WS<sub>2</sub>) nanosheet material as a saturable absorber. Stable laser pulses of 630 ns are obtained with a pulse repetiti...
