Holmium lasers passively Q-switched with PbS quantum-dot-doped glasses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

PbS quantum-dot-doped glasses are demonstrated as saturable absorber Q-switches for 2μm holmium lasers. Q-switched pulses from Ho3+:Y3Sc2Al3O12 and Ho3+:Y3Al5O12 lasers of 50 and 70  ns in duration, respectively, have been obtained demonstrating up to 13% of energy conversion efficiency from free-running to Q-switched output.
