Abstract
A 2.5nm-thickness molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) saturable absorber (SA) is prepared by electron beam evaporation (EBE) method. Applying the prepared MoSe2 SA to an acousto-optic (AO) Q-switched fundamental laser, a dual-loss-modulated intra-cavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) has been experimentally realized. The signal-pulse train from this IOPO has 0.0053 standard deviation (SD) of pulse amplitude. When the MoSe2 SA is applied to IOPO, the signal pulse is compressed by maximum 68%, the peak power increases by 274%, and the nonlinear conversion increases by 12.6%. To solve the established rate equation of IOPO, the ground-state and excited-state absorption cross section of MoSe2 are rationally estimated to be 1.04×10-18cm-2 and 6.25×10-19cm-2 from the measured transmittance curve, and the excited-state lifetime is 275.6µs. The numerical solution of the equations fits the experimental data well.
