Abstract
Passively -switched mode-locking performance of crystal using molybdenum disulfide () as a saturable absorber at 1066 nm was demonstrated for the first time. The saturable absorber was prepared simply by transferring the suspension onto a quartz substrate. By inserting the saturable absorber into the laser, stable -switched modelocked operation can be achieved. At the pump power of 4 W, the maximum average output power of 0.156 W was obtained with the optical conversion efficiency of 3.9%.
