Molybdenum trioxide decorated on tapered microfiber for mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser

This work demonstrates a simple and economical route of preparing molybdenum trioxide/polydimethylsiloxane composite saturable absorber (MoO3-SA) for ultrashort pulse generation. The average size of MoO3 used in this work was about 10 μm and conveniently prepared using standard bath sonication. The...

This work demonstrates a simple and economical route of preparing molybdenum trioxide/polydimethylsiloxane composite saturable absorber (MoO3-SA) for ultrashort pulse generation. The average size of MoO3 used in this work was about 10 μm and conveniently prepared using standard bath sonication.
