Abstract
ABSTRACT We have experimentally reported aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) as a novel saturable absorber to generate a mode-locked laser operating in dark pulsed regime. The D-shaped fiber was first prepared by side polishing a single-mode fiber to the 1 dB insertion loss. The AZO was dissolved in isopropyl alcohol and then deposited onto the D-shaped fiber by drop casting method. By carefully optimizing the polarization of the cavity, a dark pulse was achieved, which remained stable within the pump power of 65.7–101.35 mW. Pulse width was 220 ns, and the pulse repetition rate was 1.85 MHz.
期刊介绍:
Fiber and Integrated Optics , now incorporating the International Journal of Optoelectronics, is an international bimonthly journal that disseminates significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. The journal is unique in bridging the major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, systems applications, and economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Integrated Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and the business community to exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field.
