Two side liquid-cooled and passively Q-switched disk oscillator with nanosheets in flowing CCl4

In this paper, we report a Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser incorporating tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ) as the saturable absorber. A direct mechanical deposition technique using a scotch tape is employed to place the WS 2 powder onto the tip of a fiber ferrule. Several runs of mechanical extraction are performed to reduce the thickness of WS 2 powder on the fiber tip. The fabricated WS 2 saturable absorber exhibits a saturation intensity of 548.6 MW/cm 2 , modulation depth of 4.1% and non-saturable loss of 67.8%. A ring cavity erbium-doped fiber laser integrating the WS 2 saturable absorber yields continuous wave lasing and Q-switching threshold at pump power of 10 and 12.7 mW, respectively. This Q-switching pump power threshold is the lowest to the best of the authors' knowledge. The proposed technique of direct mechanical deposition is inexpensive, significantly faster and simpler compared to previously reported methods.

A 13 J direct-liquid-cooled solid-state disk laser with an unstable cavity is developed and demonstrated in this paper. The output energy of the resonant cavity is first analyzed according to the gain level in a stable cavity. At the optimum gain level, a magnification of 1.3 in the unstable cavity is achieved. Experimentally, a concave-convex mirror is used as the cavity mirror. At a magnification of 1.3, a repetition frequency of 100 Hz, and a pulse width of 350 µs, a single-pulse energy output of 13.2 J is obtained, corresponding to an optical-optical efficiency of 22% and a slope efficiency of 27.6%. The x -axis beam quality factor β is 4.7, and the y -axis beam quality factor β is 16.6.
