Abstract
The novel two-dimensional (2D) elementary tellurium is currently of great interest in optoelectronic and photonic applications. In this contribution, 2D tellurium nanosheets were successfully created by using the liquid-phase exfoliation method. With the as-prepared tellurium nanosheets as the saturable absorber (SA), we realized a passively $ Q $Q-switched ${\rm Nd} \text:{{\rm YVO}_4}$Nd:YVO4 laser operating at 1342 nm with a pulse width of 947 ns and single pulse energy of 2.25 µJ. Our work indicated the tellurium SA could be an efficient $ Q $Q-switcher for a near-infrared solid-state laser.
