Ti3AlC2 MAX phase thin film as saturable absorber for generating soliton mode-locked fiber laser
We have successfully realized the soliton pulse in a Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity, which was mode-locked by a Titanium Aluminum Carbide (Ti3AlC2) MAX phase based saturable absorber (SA). The SA was obtained by embedding the Ti3AlC2 compound into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in form of thin film...

We have successfully realized the soliton pulse in a Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity, which was mode-locked by a Titanium Aluminum Carbide (Ti3AlC2) MAX phase based saturable absorber (SA).

The prepared Ti3AlC2 film has a modulation depth of 2% and it was added into an EDFL cavity to generate a stable soliton pulse operating at 1559.7 nm wavelength.
