Abstract: Compact Yb:KLu(WO4)2 and Yb:LuVO4 lasers diode-pumped at 978 nm are passively Q-switched by a single- layer graphene saturable absorber. The Yb:KLu(WO4)2 laser generated 165 ns/0.49 ¿J pulses at 1030 nm with
170 mW average output power and 12 % slope efficiency. With the Yb:LuVO4 laser, 152 ns/0.83 ¿J pulses were achieved. The output power reached 300 mW at 1024 nm, and the slope efficiency was 10 %. Laser operation in a plano-plano cavity is achieved with both crystals with thermal lensing playing a key role in their performance. A model describing graphene Q-switched Yb lasers is developed. Our results indicate the potential of graphene for passive Q-switching of ~1 ¿m bulk lasers.
