Passively Q-switched Ho:YAG Laser with Multilayer Graphene-based Saturable Absorber
fiber laser was demonstrated with a multilayer graphene as the saturable absorber. In the continuous wave (CW) mode
a 2.09 μm laser with the output power of 750 mW was obtained at the incident pump power of 4.2 W
corresponding to the slope efficiency of 29.6%. By inserting a multilayer graphene as the saturable absor
ber and adjusting the cavity
we achieved passively

-switched laser pulses. The minimum pulse duration was obtained at the pump power of 4.2 W with the repetition rate of 66.6 kHz and the pulse width of 3.1 μs. The maximum output power of 170 mW was achieved
corresponding to the slope efficiency of 12.6%. The beam quality factors are
