On the Q-switched operation of Titanium: sapphire lasers using a graphene-based saturable absorber mirror

We numerically demonstrate Q-switched operation of Titanium:Sapphire lasers using mono and multilayer graphene, deposited on a totally reflecting end mirror as a saturable absorber. Output energies, pulse duration and repetition frequencies of the Q-switched pulse trains are given as a function of t...
