Here, we address the challenge through demonstrating, for the first time, a miniaturized 3 μm Ho3+:ZBLAN fiber laser passively Q-switched by topological insulator Bi2Se3. The linear all-fiber cavity simply consists of a home-made 1153 nm fiber laser as pump source, a 2- m Ho3+:ZBLAN fiber, and two fiber end-facet mirrors. By inserting the few-layer Bi2Se3 saturable absorber into the laser cavity, stable mid-infrared Q-switched pulses at 2920.6 nm were generated at a low threshold of ~70 mW, and the pulse repetition rate can be linearly tuned from 24.97 to 56.13 kHz. The maximum average power obtained was 315 μW, corresponding to the narrowest pulse duration of 1.54 μs and the maximum pulse energy of 6 nJ, relatively.","PeriodicalId":431579,"journal":{"name":"2018 Asia Communications and Photonics Conference (ACP)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115628162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microfiber is immersed in the magnetic fluid (MF) which contains carboxylated magnetic nanoparticles (CMNPs), without needing the modification of the microfiber surface. While, only an external magnetic field is utilized. Self-assembly of CMNPs is induced after adding bovine serum albumin (BSA) into the MF. The microfiber light polarization modulation relaxation time is prolonged, when external magnetic field is applied or removed for a given period of time. The concentration of BSA solution can be detected by detecting the maximum light polarization degree, or detecting the difference between the maximum and minimum polarization degree. The signal processing system of the biosensor is not only simple but also cost effective. Moreover, biomasses, such as virus, biotin, DNA, and phosphate compounds can also be detected using our scheme.","PeriodicalId":431579,"journal":{"name":"2018 Asia Communications and Photonics Conference (ACP)","volume":"40 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120914922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
