Copper nanoparticle polyvinyl alcohol-film with multimode fiber saturable absorber for Q-switched lasers
We have demonstrated the utilization of copper nanoparticle polyvinyl alcohol film saturable absorber with typical single-mode fiber (CuNP/PVA-SMF-SA) and multimode fiber (CuNP/PVA-MMF-SA) in an erbium-doped fiber laser for the generation of Q-switched pulses. For both methods, the CuNP/PVA film was coated with an index-matching gel sandwiched between two fiber ferrules. By incorporating CuNP/PVA-based SA in a laser cavity, stable Q-switched pulses were attained with a pump power range of 31–92 mW vs. 49–215 mW, a repetition rate (maximum pump power) of 16.61 kHz vs. 33.90 kHz, and a pulse width (maximum pump power) of 24.40 µs vs. 12.95 µs for CuNP/PVA-SMF-SA and CuNP/PVA-MMF-SA, respectively. The primary advantage of the CuNP/PVA-MMF-SA is its broader Q-switched pulse operation range relative to its counterpart, attributed to its weaker light confinement effect resulting from a bigger core diameter. This device could sustain a higher injected penetration power at 31.6 mW, yielding an energy pulse of 94 nJ, which represents a 1.57 enhancement factor. This approach facilitates pulse energy upscaling by maximizing the oversaturation power limit without compromising the device’s integrity. This will create new opportunities for high-energy Q-switched fiber laser applications in the photonics industry.
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.
