Q-switched thulium/holmium fiber laser with gallium selenide

A passively Q-switched thulium/holmium fiber laser with a gallium selenide (GaSe) saturable absorber (SA) is proposed and demonstrated for the first time. The GaSe based SA is prepared by mechanical exfoliation and inserted into the proposed laser cavity to generate Q-switched pulses. Stable Q-sw...
