The main research content of this paper is to achieve active-passive dual-loss Q-switched based on a WS2 saturable absorber (SA) with a thickness of 1.6 nm,thereby optimizing 1.06 μm laser pulse output characteristics. The few layers of WS2 nano-film material were prepared by combining electron beam evaporation (EBE) with chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The unsaturated absorption loss of the WS2 sample is 7.3%, the modulation depth (ΔT) is calculated to be 19.2%, and the saturation power intensity(Isat) was fitted to be 1.64 MW/cm2. The prepared WS2-SA successfully achieved passive Q-switched of the laser. When the pump power is 3 W, the maximum average output power, pulse width, pulse repetition rate, single pulse energy, and peak power are 752 mW, 390 ns, 400 kHz, 1.88 μJ, and 4.82 W, respectively-utilizing the saturable absorption characteristics of WS2 to reduce the threshold of the acoustic-optic modulator (AOM) active Q-switched laser. Through comparative experiments, it is shown that the attributes of AOM+WS2 active-passive Q-switched laser have been optimized. When the AOM frequency is 10 kHz, the narrowest pulse width of the dual-loss Q-switched laser is 16 ns, which is 30.4% less than the single AOM active Q-switched laser. The peak power of the active-passive Q-switched laser is 2.24 kW, which is 29.5% higher than the former. The pulse width compression and peak power increase are significant, which is beneficial for the instantaneous energy output of the laser.
