Abstract

A single output Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 laser with a reflective graphene oxide (GO) saturable absorber was demonstrated. The shortest pulse duration in the Q-switched laser is 115 ns, and the output power ranges from 1.23Wat 1.71 MHz to 2.11Wat 2.50 MHz when the pump power rises from 7.40 to 10.90W with the utilization of GO Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films based on the convenient and low-cost LB technique. To the best of our knowledge, it is the highest output power in a Q-switched laser with a GO saturable absorber.
