We demonstrate a compact core-pumped 2 microm Tm(3+), Ho(3+)- doped all-fiber laser passively Q-switched with an antimony-based saturable absorber. The 20 ns pulses are the shortest Q-switched pulses from a fiber laser operating beyond 1850 nm and were produced at a repetition rate of 57 kHz and pulse energy of 15 microJ using a short-length (4 ns) cavity. The large absorber modulation depth of approximately 70% together with transient gain compression is shown to provide an efficient mechanism for Q-switched pulse shortening.

Janus transition metal disulfide (TMD) monolayers have two distinct carbon surfaces that break the inherent ground external mirror symmetry. When compared to traditional TMD materials, Janus TMDs not only inherit the advantages of traditional TMDs but also have new characteristics that are different from those of traditional TMDs. This paper describes the development of a stable passive Q-switched ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) with operating wavelengths of 1032.

We report on the laser performance of Nd,Sc:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet), for the first time, to our knowledge. In this study, 10 at.% Sc ions were doped into the Nd:YAG crystal to form the Nd,Sc:YAG crystal, which improves the saturation flux while nearly maintaining the excellent properties of the Nd:YAG crystal.
