Q-switched Yb-doped fiber laser operating at 1073 nm using a carbon nanotubes saturable absorber
A stable passive Q-switched Ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) operating at 1073-nm region is demonstrated using single-walled carbon-nanotubes (SWCNTs) as a saturable absorber (SA). The SA is prepared using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a host polymer and integrated in the YDFL ring cavity by sandwich...
