Abstract In this paper, passively Q-switched fiber laser is demonstrated and the laser output energy is stabilized by using 2.4 m Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) with a graphene oxide used as saturable absorber (GO-SA). According to the experimental results in the Q-switched configuration, the laser cavity emits a wavelength centered at 1,558.75 nm, and by inserting the GO-SA into EDFL cavity, hence, the laser output energy around 1.68 nJ with an FWHM pulse width of 2.3 µs at 123.5 kHz was achieved.

Characteristics optimization of lasers used in different measuring systems is of great interest up to now. Diode-pumped microchip lasers is one of the most perspective ways for development of solid-state light sources with minimal size and weight together with low energy power consumption. Increasing of output power with good beam quality is rather difficult task for such type of lasers due to thermal effects in the gain crystal under high pump power.The investigation results of continuous-wave longitudinally diode-pumped Yb:YAG microchip laser are presented. In the presented laser radiation from multiple pump laser diodes were focused into the separate zone in one gain crystal that provides simultaneous generation of multiple laser beams. The energy and spatial laser beam characteristics were investigated.Influence of neighboring pumped regions on energy and spatial laser beams parameters both for separate and for sum laser output was observed. The dependences of laser output power from distance between neighboring pumped regions and their number were determined. Decreasing of laser output power was demonstrated with corresponding distance shortening between pumped regions and increasing their quantity with simultaneous improvement of laser beam quality.Demonstrated mutual influence of neighboring pumped regions in the longitudinally diode pumped Yb:YAG microchip laser allow as to generate diffraction limited Gaussian beam with 2W of continuous-wave output power that 30 % higher than in case of one pumped zone.

An unusually photostable cationic laser dye first prepared by quaternization of the free base 4PyMPO (Figure 1) with methyl p-toluenesulfonate unexpectedly had, when flashlamp pumped in methanol, half the energy output of four other N-methyl quaternary salts: the methanesulfonate, the trifluoromethanesulfonate, the perchlorate, and the tetrafluoroborate. When four homologous zwitterions (Figure 2) prepared from 4PyMPO were tested in methanol, the output energies ranged from 1.4 to 2.5 times that of the p-toluenesulfonate, and up to 1.3 times that of the salt with the highest output. When flashlamp pumped in water, the zwitterions showed 1.5 to 2.0 times the output energy of the p-toluenesulfonate in water. Many of the dyes displayed laser output curves that were split in the middle, so that lasing energy appeared on either side of a dark valley. Among the zwitterions, a regular shifting from red to blue was observed as the carbon chain length was increased.
