Lanthanum hexaboride coated D-shaped fibre for Q-switched pulse generation
A lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6)-coated D-shape fibre was successfully employed in an erbium-doped fibre laser cavity as a saturable absorber (SA) for pulse generation via the Q-switching mechanism. The Q-switched laser was obtained with an operation wavelength of 1561.4 nm within a pump power range be...
