▎ 摘  要

We demonstrate a compact passively Q-switched channel waveguide laser based on the interaction of the evanescent-field and the graphene coated surface. The graphene layer is transferred onto the surface of a femtosecond laser inscribed Nd:YAG surface waveguide for a simple integration of the saturable absorber and waveguide structure. The passive Q-switching configuration is based on the evanescent-field interaction with graphene. A 1064 nm pulsed waveguide laser with a maximum repetition rate of 10.4 MHz has been achieved, reaching an output power of 48 mW. The shortest pulse duration of the channel waveguide laser is 52 ns.
