Te Film as a Saturable Absorber for the Mid-Infrared Er3+-Doped ZBLAN Fiber Laser

Te Film as a Saturable Absorber for the Mid-Infrared Er3+-Doped ZBLAN Fiber Laser

We demonstrate a Q-switched Er3+-doped ZBLAN fiber laser at 2.8 µm mid-infrared (mid-IR) region achieved by adopting Te as the saturable absorber mirror (SAM). The modulation depth and saturation intensity of the Te-SAM were measured to be ∼7.2% and 10.81 MW∕cm2, respectively. Stable Q-switched lase...
