Mid-Infrared Dual-Wavelength Passively Q-Switched Er: SrF 2 Laser by CsPbCl 3 Quantum Dots Absorber.

A passively Q-switched compact dual-wavelength Er: SrF₂ laser, operating at a 2729.73 nm and 2747.2 nm wavelength, was demonstrated by utilizing CsPbCl₃ quantum dots (QDs) as a saturable absorber (SA). The maximum average output power with the shortest duration of 510 ns and a repetition rate of 45 kHz was achieved at 190 mW, and the corresponding maximum single pulse energy and the peak power were 73.69 μJ and 141.7 W, respectively. The results present an efficient dual-wavelength laser source, and the halogen perovskite quantum dot has the potential to be employed as an excellent saturable absorber in mid-infrared pulsed solid-state lasers.
