Abstract

In this paper, we firstly demonstrate a diode-pumped passive mode-locking laser based on a Tm:YAG crystal and a MoS₂ saturable absorber. The Tm:YAG laser produced a 2.68 W continuous-wave (CW) output power at 2013.8 nm. A maximum average output power of 0.2 W was achieved at a pulse repetition rate of 232.2 MHz and a pulse width of about 297.5 ps were achieved under the passive mode-locking operation. In addition, the M² factors were 1.07 and 1.05 in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, indicating the near-diffraction limited beam propagation.
