A compact saturable absorber mirror (SAM) based on multi-layered black phosphorus (BP) nanoplatelets was fabricated and successfully used as an efficient saturable absorber (SA) in a passively Q-switched Tm:YAP laser at 1.9 μm. With the BP SAM, Q-switched pulses with duration of 181 ns and average output power of 3.1 W were generated at a pulse repetition rate of 81 kHz, resulting in a pulse energy of 39.5 μJ, to the best of our knowledge, which is the record among the reports on BP SA-based Q-switched lasers. In addition, the simultaneous dual-wavelength Q-switched operation at both 1969 and 1979 nm has been observed. The results indicate the promising potential of multi-layered BP nanoplatelets as SAs for achieving efficient pulsed lasers at around 2 μm.
