Abstract

Abstract By simultaneously employing electro-optic (EO) modulator and Graphene saturable absorber (SA) in a dual-loss-modulated Q-switched and mode-locking (QML) Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4/KTP green laser, the sub-nanosecond single mode-locking green laser is demonstrated with high peak power, low repetition rate and high stability. The monolayer and 3-layer graphene sheets grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method were used as SAs in the experiment. When the pump power reached 10.72 W, the maximum peak power obtained from the doubly QML laser with EO and monolayer graphene-SA was 1.38 MW, corresponding to a pulse duration of 480 ps. The shortest pulse width of 340 ps was obtained with a 3-layer graphene-SA.
