Abstract

� 2016 Optical Society of America. A multi-layer MoS2-based saturable absorber (SA) enables Q-switched operation of Yb and Tm microchip lasers. The saturation intensity of MoS2-SA is determined to be about ~0.5 MW/cm2. The Q-switched Tm laser generated 1.27 W at 1929 nm with a slope efficiency of 43% and conversion efficiency with respect to the continuous-wave mode as high as 81%. The pulse characteristics were 175 ns/7.5 μJ corresponding to a repetition rate of 170 kHz. With the Q-switched Yb laser, 220 ns/0.5 μJ pulses were achieved at 1030 nm. We show that using MoS2-SA at ~2 μm is advantageous as compared to multi-layer graphene. We also prove that MoS2-SA is more efficient at ~2 μm compared to ~1 μm due to a lower saturation intensity and higher fraction of the saturable loss.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Optical Materials Express due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Scopus (SJR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2016, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials. Notably, the journal is positioned above the 90th percentile.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.24. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 1.88 (source consulted: FECYT Feb 2024)
  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 8.04 (source consulted: Dimensions May 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-05-02, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 43
  • Scopus: 45
  • OpenCitations: 43
Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-02:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 8 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11797/imarina5610294
