摘要
We demonstrate a narrow-linewidth linearly polarized 1645 nm Er：YAG laser, directly diode-pumped by a fiber- coupled continuous-wave laser diode at 1532 nm. Passive Q-switching is realized by a few-layer graphene satu- rable absorber. A maximum polarized average output power of 3.13 W is achieved at 23.28 W incident pump power. A pulse energy of as much as 58.8 μJ and pulse width of 4.21 μs are yielded at a 53.2 kHz pulse repetition rate. The spectrum and linewidth of the output beams are measured to be 1645.34 and 0.05 nm, respectively. This laser can be useful in the detection of atmosphere pollutants.
