Watt-level continuous-wave and passively Q -switched red lasers pumped by a single blue laser diode Download: 828次
Abstract
Praseodymium-ion-doped gain materials have the superiority of lasing at various visible wavelengths directly. Simple and compact visible lasers are booming with the development of blue laser diodes in recent years. In this Letter, we demonstrate the watt-level red laser with a single blue laser diode and Pr:YLiF4 crystal. On this basis, the passively Q -switched pulse lasers are obtained with monolayer graphene and Co:ZnO thin film as the Q -switchers in the visible range.
