研究目的
Investigating the generation of highly stable passive mode locking laser pulses in a thulium doped fibre laser using a WS2-ZnO composite as a saturable absorber.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a highly stable mode locking laser with a pulse width of 1.27 ps and repetition rate of 9.98 MHz using a WS2-ZnO composite as a saturable absorber. The laser's large SNR value and central wavelength make it highly stable and applicable for ultrafast pulses in the eye-safe region.
研究不足
The study does not explore the optimization of the laser cavity’s length for shorter pulse widths and higher repetition rates, which could potentially improve the laser's performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a WS2-ZnO composite as a saturable absorber in a thulium doped fibre laser to generate mode-locked pulses. The nonlinear optical performance of the SA is investigated using a balanced twin-detector measurement system.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
WS2 powder is exfoliated into few-layer WS2 sheets using the liquid phase exfoliation technique. The WS2-ZnO composite is prepared by mixing exfoliated WS2 sheets with Zn(OH)2 solution.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a Renishaw inVia Raman microscope, FEI Nova NanoSEM 400 field emission scanning electron microscope, Varian Cary 50 UV–vis Spectrophotometer, and an autocorrelator for pulse width measurement.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The WS2-ZnO composite is characterized using Raman measurement, absorption spectrum, and modulation depth analysis. The composite is then used in a TDFL cavity with dual pumping scheme to generate mode-locked pulses.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The optical spectrum, pulse width, and repetition rate of the generated pulses are analyzed. The stability of the laser is tested over time.
