研究目的
Investigating the use of Nickel nanoparticles (Ni-NPs) as a saturable absorber (SA) for generating compact pulsed dual-wavelength Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers (YDF) near the 1 μm region.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a stable dual-wavelength Q-switched Ytterbium-doped fiber laser using Ni-NPs as a saturable absorber. The laser achieved a minimum pulse width of 1.44 μs, a maximum repetition rate of 100.1 kHz, and a maximum pulse energy of 4.45 nJ at a pump power of 288 mW. The Ni-NPs SA showed potential for multi-wavelength pulsed laser generation in the 1 μm region, suitable for various photonic applications.
研究不足
The study was limited to the use of Ni-NPs as a saturable absorber for Q-switched pulse generation in Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. The performance might vary with different nanoparticle sizes or materials. The experiment did not explore mode-locking for generating ultra-short pulses.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved integrating Ni-NPs saturable absorber (SA) into a Ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDF) cavity to generate Q-switched pulses. The Ni-NPs were embedded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using the casting method to form a thin film SA.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ni nanoparticles with an average size of 50 nm and purity of
3:7% were used. The absorption spectrum and nonlinear optical properties of the Ni-PVA film were characterized. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A laser diode of 975 nm wavelength, Ytterbium-doped fiber (YDF), Ni-NPs, PVA, optical spectrum analyzer, digital oscilloscope, and optical power meter were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The Ni-PVA SA was integrated into the YDF laser cavity. The pump power was adjusted to observe the generation of Q-switched pulses and dual-wavelength operation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The output characteristics such as pulse width, repetition rate, and pulse energy were analyzed using the optical spectrum analyzer and digital oscilloscope.
