We report on the preparation of robust indium tin oxide (ITO) hemispherical-shell arrays
(HSAs) with nanoscale thickness of∼ 100 nm and their applications for passively Q …

We report on the first watt-level ultrafast laser inscribed Thulium waveguide (WG) lasers.
Depressed-index buried channel WGs with a circular cladding (type III) are produced in …

We demonstrate efficient continuous-wave (CW) and passively Q-switched Tm: LiLuF_4
laser operation near 1.9 μm. The CW slope efficiency reached 54.8% with respect to …

Published data on spectroscopic characteristics of saturable absorbers based on crystals
doped with tetrahedrally coordinated transition-metal ions (Cr 2+, Cr 4+, Cr 5+, V 3+, Cr 2+ …

A survey of the well-established as well as newly emerging ion-doped crystalline lasers,
operating in the mid-IR spectral range between 2 and 5 µm, is presented. The review …

Passively Q-switched operation of Yb, Tm: KY (WO4) 2 and Tm: KY (WO4) 2 lasers diode
pumped at 805 nm has been investigated. A thin plate of Cr: ZnS was used as a saturable …

Simultaneous dual-wavelength laser oscillation of Tm: YLF at 1.9 and 2.3 µm were
successfully realized. The three-mirror cavity was exploited to study dual-wavelength laser …

A Ho: YAG ceramic microchip laser pumped by a Tm fiber laser at 1910 nm is passively Q-
switched by single-and multi-layer graphene, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) …

We report the fabrication of an MoS_2 black phosphorus (BP) composite saturable absorber
by liquid phase exfoliation and the spin-coating method and further exploitation to build a 2 …

Layered rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) has triggered strong interest because of its
outstanding optical and electrical properties. In this paper, we prepared a high-quality …
