Article Abstract
Efficient diode-pumped passively Q-switched Er:Lu2O3 laser operation at 2.84 μm was realized. A few-layer MoS2 nanosheet film on a YAG substrate, was fabricated and employed as saturable absorber (SA) in a short plane-plane cavity. Under an absorbed diode laser pump power of 7.61 W, an average output power of 1.03 W was generated with a pulse duration of 335 ns and a repetition rate of 121 kHz, resulting in a pulse energy of 8.5 μJ.

The temperature-dependent second threshold criteria for the Nd:YVO/Cr:YAG passively Q-switched (PQS) laser is explored. The emission cross section of the Nd:YVO crystal is found to decrease as temperature elevates, which is feasible to reach the PQS second threshold with a flexible cavity design. We derive theoretical analysis and experimentally verify it by demonstrating the cavity mode size ratio variation between those on the gain medium and the saturable absorber.

The - nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a sol-gel autocombustion mechanism, and its thin film was prepared in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) via the solution casting method. The crystallographic structure, surface morphology, and particle size of - NPs were characterized using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In this work, two-dimensional (2D) PdX (X = S, Se) nanosheets were successfully fabricated via the ultrasound-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) method and characterized comprehensively. Employing open-aperture (OA) Z/I-scan techniques, the nonlinear absorption (NLA) properties of the samples in the mid-infrared (MIR) region were systematically investigated, which revealed that PdX (X = S, Se) nanosheets exhibited excellent saturable absorption characteristics at 3 μm. The large effective NLA coefficient, high modulation depth, and low saturation intensity highlight their potential as high-performance saturable absorbers (SAs).

Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials play indispensable roles in various fields, such as information, energy, and biology. However, the ideal NLO materials necessitate a balance between the band gap and the nonlinear coefficient, which severely restricts the further development of nonlinear optics. BiOX (X═Cl, Br, and I) crystals, with their layered structure, combine the advantages of nontoxicity, a tunable band gap, and remarkable optoelectronic properties, rendering them highly promising NLO materials.
