| 1 | Zinc Oxide-Based Q-Switched Erbium-Doped Fiber Laser显示文摘We demonstrate a Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser(EDFL) using a newly developed zinc oxide-(ZnO) based saturable absorber(SA). The SA is fabricated by embedding a prepared ZnO powder into a poly(vinyl alcohol)film. A small piece of the film is then sandwiched between two fiber ferrules and is incorporated in an EDFL cavity for generating a stable Q-switching pulse train. The EDFL operates at 1560.4 nm with a pump power threshold of 11.8 mW, a pulse repetition rate tunable from 22.79 to 61.43 kHz, and the smallest pulse width of 7.00 μs. The Q-switching pulse shows no spectral modulation with a peak-to-pedestal ratio of 62 dB indicating the high stability of the laser. These results show that the ZnO powder has a great potential to be used for pulsed laser applications. | N.A.Aziz A.A.Latiff M.Q.Lokman E.Hanafi S.W.Harun | 2017 | Chinese Physics Letters2017，34，4： | 0 |
