Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser with silicon oxycarbide saturable absorber
We have experimentally demonstrated a Q-switched erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) by using silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) as saturable absorber (SA). The SiOC was prepared by reactive RF magnetron sputtering before being mechanically exfoliated and inserted in cavity to generate Q-switched pulses operatin...
