Abstract
This study presents a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using a MoS2 solution as a saturable absorber. The prepared MoS2 solution saturable absorber features adjustable optical absorption, high heat dissipation, and non-contact damage. By inserting the MoS2 solution saturable absorber into a Z-type Nd:YAG laser cavity, a stable Q-switched laser with the maximum repetition rate of 20.8 KHz centered at 1064.24 nm was achieved, with the shortest pulse width at 2.8 μs. The results experimentally confirm the potential application of a MoS2 solution saturable absorber for high performance Q-switched solid-state lasers.
