title: Passively Q-switched mode locking performance of Nd:GdTaO4 crystal by MoS2 saturable absorber at 1066  nm.
abstract: Passively Q-switched mode-locking performance of Nd:GdTaO4crystal using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as a saturable absorber at 1066 nm was demonstrated for the first time. The MoS2saturable absorber was prepared simply by transferring the MoS2suspension onto a quartz substrate. By inserting the MoS2saturable absorber into the Nd:GdTaO4laser, stable Q-switched modelocked operation can be achieved. At the pump power of 4 W, the maximum average output power of 0.156 W was obtained with the optical conversion efficiency of 3.9%.
