We investigate the saturable absorption properties of Bi2Se3 in a bulk laser operating at 2 mu m wavelength region. The Bi2Se3 saturable absorber (SA) is prepared with the liquid-phase exfoliation method, which gives a saturable input flux of 4.3 mJ/cm(2), a modulation depth of similar to 10%, and a non-saturable absorption of 10.2%. With the Bi2Se3 saturable absorber, a passive Q-witching Tm:YAG ceramic laser is realized with a shortest pulse duration of 355 ns, a single pulse energy of 6.76 mu J and peak power of 19 W. We believe that this is the first report on Bi2Se3 Q-switched 2 mu m bulk laser. (C) 2020 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
