High-beam-quality operation of a 2 μm passively Q-switched solid-state laser based on a boron nitride saturable
Abstract:
Boron nitride (BN) nanosheets were used as the material sources which were coated on a calcium fluoride mirror to achieve a saturable absorber (SA). A passively Q-switched solid-state laser at 2000.5 nm was demonstrated with a Tm,Ho:YAlO3 (Tm,Ho:YAP) crystal and a SA based on BN. An average output power of 650 mW was obtained with a minimum pulse width of 6.3 μs at the pulsed repetition frequency of 41.7 kHz, corresponding to a per pulse energy of 13 μJ. The beam quality factor was measured to be Mx2=1.06 and My2=1.07 at the maximum output power.

Beams
Based on geometry, beams can be straight, tapered, or curved. Straight beams are the most common type and have a constant cross-section throughout their length. Tapered beams, on the other hand, have a varying cross-section along...
