Size effect of WSe2 on red passively Q-switched fiber laser output performance
Abstract:
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess a direct bandgap in the visible frequency range and can be applied as attractive visible saturable absorbers (SAs). In this paper, a new TMDs tungsten selenide (WSe2)-based red Q-switcher is fabricated and successfully used for Q-switched pulse generation in a red Pr3+-doped ZBLAN fiber laser. The passive Q-switching fiber laser at 635.2 nm generates a stable pulse with pulse duration of 504 ns and average output power of 4.91 mW as well as a tunable pulse repetition rate of 131.9-260.4 kHz. Furthermore, the size effect of WSe2 on the 635 nm passive Q-switching output performance is also investigated. Our work will provide certain significance for the optimization of passive Q-switching red fiber lasers based on TMDs.

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
