Silver nanoparticle-film based saturable absorber for passivelyQ-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) in ring cavity configuration

We report a passive Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser based on silver (Ag) nanoparticle thin-film saturable absorber (SA). The thin film was sandwiched between two fiber ferrules, which offer flexibility and easy integration into the ring cavity. Self-started and stable Q-switching is achieved at...
