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 passively Q-switched Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) is demonstrated using a black phosphorus saturable absorber as the Q-switcher. The laser generates a stable pulse operating at a wavelength of 1562.35 nm within a pump power region from 7.2 mW to 42.3 mW. At 980 nm pump power of 42.3 mW, the EDFL generates an optical pulse train with a repetition rate of 44.72 kHz and pulse width of 9.8 us. The maximum pulse energy of 81.5 nJ is obtained at a pump power of 35.2 mW. A higher performance Q-switched EDFL is expected to be achieved with the optimization of the saturable absorber and laser cavity. Full Text: PDF ReferencesR. Mas-Balleste, C. Gomez-Navarro, J.
