Abstract

Two graphene oxide saturable absorbers (GO-SAs) spin coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate have been prepared and their transmissivity spectra have also been measured. The performance of the diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser with GO-SA has been investigated for the first time. The shortest pulse width of 113 ns and the highest peak power of 4.3 W are obtained at the pump power of 5.04 W. The output laser characteristics have demonstrated that graphene oxide is a promising saturable absorber for passive Q-switching.
