Abstract

Efficient passively Q-switched laser operation of Yb:LaCa4O(BO3)3 crystal was realized at the long-wavelength region of 1071–1080 nm, with 2D Bi2Te3 topological insulator acting as saturable absorber. With an incident pump power of 6.89 W, 1.76 W of pulsed output power was generated at 140 kHz with a slope efficiency of 38%; the corresponding pulse energy, duration, and peak power were, respectively, 12.6 μJ, 288 ns, and 43.8 W.
