In the current study, layered metallic vanadium disulfide (VS) is fabricated by a liquid-phase exfoliation method, and its microstructures as well as optical characteristics are investigated. Based on first-principles calculations, the band structure and density of the states of both bulk T-VS and monolayer H-VS are illustrated, showing the metallic behavior with a zero band gap. By using VS as the saturable absorber in a doubly Q-switched Tm:YAP laser with an EOM, the Q-switching laser pulses at 2 μm with 22 ns and 200 Hz are generated, corresponding to the single pulse energy of 755 μJ and the peak power of 34.3 kW. The coupled rate equations of the doubly Q-switched laser are given, and the numerical simulations agree with the experimental results. The results indicate that VS is a promising nanomaterial due to its nonlinear optical property. The doubly Q-switched laser demonstrates a high level of performance in reducing pulse width and enhancing pulse peak power.

We developed a customized doubly Q-switched laser that can control the pulse width to easily find weak acoustic signals for photoacoustic (PA) systems. As the laser was constructed using an acousto-optic Q-switcher, in contrast to the existing commercial laser system, it is easier to control the pulse repetition rate and pulse width. The laser has the following control ranges: 10 Hz-10 kHz for the pulse repetition rate, 40-150 ns for the pulse width, and 50-500 μJ for the pulse energy.

Gold nanobipyramids (Au-NBPs) were successfully fabricated using the seed-mediated growth method. The saturable absorption performance of the Au-NBPs at a 2-μm band wavelength was characterized. Using excellent-quality, mature Ho:YLF crystals, a doubly Q-switched (DQS) laser joining an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) with an Au-NBP saturable absorber (SA) was achieved.
