Bismuth oxide nanoflakes for passive Q-switching in a C-band erbium doped fiber laser
In this work, bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) nanoflakes suspended in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) host are used as a saturable absorber (SA) in an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). The facile hydrothermal method is employed to synthesize the Bi2O3 nanoflakes as the SA, which provides stable Q-switching at a cent...
