Abstract
We report on diode-pumped Q-switched Pr:YLF lasers at deep red â¼721 nm, red â¼640 nm and orange â¼(607+604) nm, using a few-layer Bi2Se3 saturable absorber. The narrowest pulse widths, maximum pulse energies and pulse peak powers have been achieved to be about (368 ns, 0.17 μJ, 0.46 W), (210 ns, 0.16 μJ, 0.73 W) and (263 ns, 0.19 μJ, 0.71 W), respectively for the three wavelengths. This work reveals that Bi2Se3 is a promising saturable absorber for visible solid-state lasers.
