S+/S band passively Q-switched thulium-fluoride fiber laser based on using gallium selenide saturable absorber

A Q-switched thulium-fluoride fiber (TFF) laser using gallium selenide (GaSe) as a passive saturable absorber (SA) for operation in the S+/S band is demonstrated. The generated pulses can be tuned from 1454 nm to 1512 nm, giving a tuning range of 58 nm. At 1502 nm, stable Q-switching operation is ob...
