Microsecond pulse erbium-doped fiber laser using WS2 deposited on D-shaped fiber fabricated by polishing wheel technique
We demonstrate a stable Q-switching pulse train output centered at 1561 nm by implementing D-shaped fiber deposited tungsten disulphide (WS2) as a saturable absorber in erbium-doped fiber laser. D-shaped fiber was fabricated using a polishing wheel technique with two stages polishing. Proposed Q-swi...

Summary: | We demonstrate a stable Q-switching pulse train output centered at 1561 nm by implementing D-shaped fiber deposited tungsten disulphide (WS2) as a saturable absorber in erbium-doped fiber laser. D-shaped fiber was fabricated using a polishing wheel technique with two stages polishing. Proposed Q-switched EDFL generates a maximum repetition rate of 47.28 kHz at a pulse duration of 5.4 us. Under pump power of 104.6 mW, the laser consumed pulse energy of 99.4 nJ with an output power of 4.7 mW. This WS2-D-shaped SA is excellence for the production of Q-switched laser source. |
