High power passively Q switched Nd:GdVO4 laser with a reflective graphene oxide

A single output Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 laser with a reflective graphene oxide (GO) saturable absorber was demonstrated. The shortest pulse duration in the Q-switched laser is 115 ns, and the output power ranges from 1.23 W at 1.71 MHz to 2.11 W at 2.50 MHz when the pump power rises from 7.40 to 10.90 W
