Utilization of Te as a saturable absorber for mode-locked 2.8 µm Er3+: ZBLAN fiber laser
In this manuscript, we present the experimental realization of a mode-locked Er3+: ZBLAN (ZrF2- BaF2- LaF3- AlF3- NaF) fiber laser operating at mid-infrared (mid-IR) 2.8 μm band, achieved through the utilization of Tellurium (Te) as the saturable absorber (SA). An exploration of their nonlinear optical absorption properties at 2.8 μm was undertaken employing a dual-channel detection methodology. Our investigation reveals that the Te-SA prepared exhibits a significant broadband saturable absorption response, thereby confirming its suitability as SA for passive mode-locked fiber laser at 2.8 μm. The peak average output power pulse and energy of the mode-locked Er3+: ZBLAN fiber laser are 41.2mW and 1.632nJ, respectively. These measurements were conducted at a repetition rate of 25.25 MHz, accompanied by a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 60 dB at a transmit pump power of 600 mW. This is the first demonstration of a mode-locked fiber laser operating in the 2.8 µm mid infrared band using Te-SA.
期刊介绍：
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
