A tunable-wavelength Q-switched fiber laser based on organic metal 8-hydroxyquinoline chelate as a saturable absorber
This work demonstrates the potential of organic metal 8-hydroxyquinoline chelate, Znq2, as a thin film saturable absorber (SA) in a fiber laser cavity. The SA has a modulation depth and saturation intensity of 16.6 % and 95 MW/cm2, respectively. The Q-switched laser had a repetition rate increased f...
