Abstract:
Q-switched Yb-doped fiber lasers based on few-layer WS2 and mono-layer WS2 were demonstrated in this paper. The modulation depths of few-layer WS2-polyvinyl alcohol film and mono-layer WS2-polyvinyl alcohol film were 21.1% and 25.9%, respectively. The shortest pulse durations of the two fiber lasers were 2.7 mu s and 748 ns, respectively, and the maximum pulse energy was 205 nJ and 154.2 nJ. From the results, the pulse duration of the fiber laser with mono-layer WS2 is narrower than that of the laser with few-layer WS2, and the peak power of the pulse is higher than that of the laser employing few-layer WS2 owing to the large modulation depth of mono-layer WS2. To the best of our knowledge, 205 nJ is the largest pulse energy of Q-switched fiber lasers with TMDs at 1.0 mu m waveband. The results illustrate that WS2 is one promising saturable absorber to achieve high energy output in fiber lasers.
