AI Article Synopsis
- A passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser is developed using antimonene as a saturable absorber, showcasing a novel approach in laser technology.
- The experimental setup shows a variable pulse repetition rate, changing from 25.3 to 76.7 kHz depending on pump power levels ranging from 41 to 345 mW.
- The laser achieves a shortest pulse duration of 1.58 µs with an energy output of 37.9 nJ, indicating unique characteristics that suggest further research is needed to fully understand the saturable absorption mechanism of antimonene.
Article Abstract
A passively ${Q}$-switched erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser based on antimonene saturable absorber is exclusively and systematically demonstrated. Few-layer antimonene nanosheets are prepared and a passively ${Q}$-switched EDF laser based on the saturable absorption feature of antimonene is implemented. The pulse repetition rate varies from 25.3 to 76.7 kHz when the pump power changes from 41 to 345 mW. The shortest pulse duration is 1.58 µs with pulse energy of 37.9 nJ. The experiment displays some new characteristics, which indicates that there is still much work to do before the mechanism of saturable absorption characteristics of antimonene is completely revealed.
