We report a diode-pumped self-Q-switched 1064-nm Cr,Nd:YAG laser with pulse duration in the range of 16?18 ns. The maximum average output power up to 7 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 33%, is obtained in a simple and compact linear cavity by usi
The operation of quantum dot lasers epitaxially grown on silicon is investigated through a quantum-corrected Poisson-drift-diffusion model. This in-house developed simulation framework completes the traditional rate equation approach, which models the int
