Abstract
- We describe a compact Yb:YAG laser Q-switched by a graphene-based saturable absorber and pumped by a laser diode at 932 or 969 nm. The compact laser generates a maximum average output power value of 185 mW at 1032 nm with a slope efficiency value of 12%. The shortest duration of the Q-switched pulse achieved is 228 ns at a repetition frequency of 285 kHz. The maximum pulse energy amounts to 0.65 μJ.
