By using Cr^4＋ ： yAG as the saturable absorber, a very stable pulse train is obtained. At a high pump power, the pulse to pulse timing jitter is measured to be less than 2% and the amplitude fluctuation is less than 4%. A Q-switched average output power of 2.3 W at 1029 nm is generated with a slope efficiency of 33.9%; the one-dimensional intensity distribution of the laser facula is of the Gaussian type. The output repetition rate, pulse energy, pulse width and peak power are 33.3 kHz, 70μJ, 36 ns and 2.0 k W, respectively. The passively Q-switched process is simulated by solving the rate equations, the simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

Integration of the graphene layer and the photonic crystal(PC) cavity is a promising way of achieving compact modulators with high efficiency. In this paper, a high-quality(Q) acceptor-type PC nanocavity is employed to integrate with a single-layer graphene for realizing strong modulation. Through tuning the chemical potential of graphene, a large wavelength shift of 2.62 nm and a Q factor modulation of larger than 5 are achieved. A modulation depth(12.8 dB) of the reflection spectrum is also obtained.Moreover, the optimized PC nanocavity has a large free spectral range of 131.59 nm, which can effectively enhance the flexibility of the modulator. It shows that the proposed graphene-based PC nanocavity is a potential candidate for compact,high-contrast, and low-power absorptive modulators in integrated silicon chips.展开更多
