Abstract
Due to the ultra-short recovery time and the wider absorption range, graphene-like 2D material have been widely employed as saturable absorbers (SAs) in passively Q-switched and mode-locked lasers. Due to the low photon energy, noninvasive and high resolution, THz wave was widely used to characterize samples. In this paper, the nonlinear saturable absorption property and THz absorption spectrum of Gallium selenide/Tin disulfide (GaSe/SnS2) is reported. Passively Q-switched Nd:GdTaO4 laser with GaSe/SnS2 SA is demonstrated. The maximum output power of 551 mW under the pump power of 5 W. The minimum pulse width is 365 ns at the pulse repetition rate of 89 kHz. Our results indicate that GaSe/SnS2 nanosheets could be used in Q-switched lasers. The GaSe/SnS2 SA with good nonlinear absorption properties and easy fabricating process will promote the ultrafast photonics applications in solid state lasers.
