Q-switched and mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser using gadolinium oxide as saturable absorber
Q-switched and mode-locked Erbium-doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) were demonstrated using gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) as a saturable absorber. The Gd2O3 nano-powder was embedded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film and integrated into the EDFL cavity to achieve both lasers. At first, a stable Q-switched laser...
