“…where TBP is a time bandwidth product, and BW a bandwidth (BW = Δλ × (C/λ 2 )); however, Δλ is a spectral bandwidth at FWHM, and λ is the centre of the wavelength of output spectrum. As the TBP was assumed to be 0.441 for Gaussian pulse profile [27], the minimum possible pulse width is estimated to be ∼18.8 ps. Fig.…”

“…This then makes them compatible with pulsed initiation in the near-infrared region [12,13]. Likewise, black phosphorus (BPs) was also proposed to initiate Q-switching and mode-locked operation [14,15]. An orthorhombic structure of BPs exhibits excellent chemical stability with the absence of high heat supply, and wide optical tunability in the near-infrared region [16].…”

“…However, according to [17] BPs are highly sensitive to their environment, especially water, which can disrupt its stability as an effective SA for all-fiber laser configurations. Hisyam et al [15] reported a stable generation of mode-locked ytterbium-doped fiber lasers (YDFL) using BP layers as a SA, subsequently producing stable mode-locked pulses centered at 1085.58 nm with a repetition rate and pulse energy of 13.5 MHz and 5.93 nJ, respectively. Besides, Luo et al [18] also reported on generating all-fiber pulsed lasers at visiblewavelengths using 2D materials based on layered TMDs (WS2, MoS2 and MoSe2) as a SA.…”

The rapid developments in transition metal dichalcogenide materials as a saturable absorber (SAs) have been demonstrated to be an effective method for generating Q-switched fiber laser. This work, reports on the generation of Q-switched fiber laser in the 1-micron region using samarium oxide (Sm2O3) saturable absorber (SA). The Sm2O3 thin film SA was fabricated in- The rapid developments in transition metal dichalcogenide materials as saturable absorbers (SAs) have been reported to be efficient materials for generating Q?switched fiber lasers. In this paper, we report on the use of samarium oxide (Sm2O3) saturable absorber (SA) for 1-micron Q-switched fiber laser generation. The Sm2O3 thin film SA was constructed in-house through which the Sm2O3 powder was mixed and stirred in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution. It was then integrated into the ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) ring cavity, hence producing a sequence of Q-switched pulsed lasers at 1062.49 nm wavelength. The stable pulse train appeared from 69.97 to 111.1 kHz between the applied pump power of 57 mW to 96 mW. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 38.56 dB was recorded at the 57 mW pump power, whereas the pulse energy raised until 15.21 nJ at 96 mW. These results showed that the Sm2O3 could be a favourable SA material to iniatiate Q-switched ytterbium-doped pulsed fiber laser. ABSTRAK: Perkembangan pesat dalam bahan logam peralihan dichalcogenide sebagai bahan penyerap boleh larut (SAs) telah dilaporkan sebagai kaedah yang berkesan bagi menjana laser fiber Q-switched. Kajian ini menggunakan samarium oksida (Sm2O3) saturable absorber (SA) bagi menjana laser gentian Q-switched 1-Micron. Filem nipis Sm2O3 SA telah dihasilkan melalui campuran serbuk Sm2O3 ke dalam cecair polivinil alkohol (PVA) dalam persekitaran makmal. Kemudian, ia diintegrasi ke dalam rongga gelang laser gentian dop-ytterbium (YDFL), lalu menghasilkan denyut laser Q-switched stabil pada jarak gelombang 1062.49 nm. Denyutan stabil muncul dari 69.97 kepada 111.1 kHz pada kuasa pam yang dikenakan antara 57 mW hingga 96 mW. Nisbah isyarat-hinggar (SNR) pada 38.56 dB telah direkodkan pada pam kuasa 57 mW, sementara denyut tenaga ditingkatkan kepada 15.21 nJ pada 96 mW. Keputusan menunjukkan Sm2O3 merupakan bahan SA penggalak yang memuaskan bagi menjana denyut laser gentian dop-ytterbium Q-switched. house. It was integrated into the ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) ring cavity, hence producing a stable passively Q-switched laser operating at 1062.49 nm wavelength. Stable pulse train appeared from 69.97 to 111.1 kHz at the tunable pump power of 57 mW to 96 mW. The pulse energy of up to 15.21 nJ and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 38.56 dB for the fundamental frequency were recorded. The results showed that the Sm2O3 could be a favourable SA material for the broadband generation of Q-switched fiber laser.

“…As a result, multi-layer BPs can be obtained using the liquid exfoliation or mechanical cleavage method [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Currently, mechanically cleaved BP, microfiber-based multi-layer BP, and BP polymer composites have been used as SAs to generate Q-switched/mode-locked pulses at 1, 1.55, and 2 μm, respectively [ 21 , 34 , 35 ]. However, in the atmosphere, BP is unstable and tends to be oxidized due to the existence of O 2 or H 2 O [ 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

We demonstrate an erbium-doped fiber laser passively Q-switched by a black-phosphorus polyimide film. The multi-layer black-phosphorus (BP) nanosheets were prepared via a liquid exfoliation approach exploiting N-methylpyrrolidone as the dispersion liquid. By mixing the BP nanosheets with polyimide (PI), a piece of BP–PI film was obtained after evaporating the mixture in a petri dish. The BP–PI saturable absorber had a modulation depth of 0.47% and was inserted into an erbium-doped fiber laser to realize passive Q-switched operations. The repetition rate of the Q-switched laser increased from 5.73 kHz to 31.07 kHz when the laser pump was enhanced from 31.78 mW to 231.46 mW. Our results show that PI is an excellent host material to protect BP from oxidation, and the BP–PI film can act as a promising nonlinear optical device for laser applications.
