Abstract

A graphene passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser experienced resonant pumping by an 885 nm laser diode (LD), as demonstrated in this paper. In the continuous-wave operation, the maximum average output power was up to 1.8 W with the absorbed pump power being 11.7 W, and the slope efficiency was 51.2%. In the Q-switching operation, the maximum average output power was up to 639 mW with a pulse width of 2.06 μs at the repetition frequency of 102.7 kHz, while the slope efficiency and the beam quality factor M2 were 25.3% and 1.25, respectively.
