Abstract

This study presents a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using a MoS₂ solution as a saturable absorber. The prepared MoS₂ solution saturable absorber features adjustable optical absorption, high heat dissipation, and non-contact damage. By inserting the MoS₂ solution saturable absorber into a Z-type Nd:YAG laser cavity, a stable Q-switched laser with the maximum repetition rate of 20.8 KHz centered at 1064.24 nm was achieved, with the shortest pulse width at 2.8 μs. The results experimentally confirm the potential application of a MoS₂ solution saturable absorber for high performance Q-switched solid-state lasers.
