AbstractAs a new member of saturable absorber (SA), molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) has some excellent optical properties. Herein, we report a new type of Mo2C/fluorine mica (FM) SA device. Uniform and compact Mo2C films were deposited on the FM by magnetron sputtering method. In order to increase the laser damage threshold, an additional protective layer of silicon oxide was deposited on the Mo2C. The FM is a single-layer structure of 20 μm, and its high elasticity makes it not easy to fracture. The transmission rate of FM is as high as 90% at near infrared wavelength. FM has better heat dissipation and softening temperature than organic composite materials, so it can withstand higher laser power without being damaged. In this work, Mo2C/FM SA was cut into small pieces and inserted into erbium-doped fiber laser to achieve mode-locked operation. The pulse duration and average output power of the laser pulses were 313 fs and 64.74 mW, respectively. In addition, a 12th-order sub-picosecond harmonic mode-locking was generated. The maximum repetition rate was 321.6 MHz and the shortest pulse duration was 338 fs. The experimental results show that Mo2C/FM SA is a broadband nonlinear optical mode-locker with excellent performance.

A fiber laser resonantly pumped Q-switched mode locked Er :YAG ceramic 1645 nm laser using graphene as the saturable absorber is realized. The mode-locked pulses with average output power of 320 mW, Q-switching envelope temporal width of 10 μs and mode-locking repetition rate of 83 MHz can readily be generated from the laser. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the graphene-based Q-switching mode locked Er :YAG ceramic laser emitting around 1645 nm.
