doi:10.1088/1674-1056/27/8/084214

Abstract

Ultrafast pulse generation was demonstrated in thulium doped fiber laser mode locked by magnetron sputtering deposited Sb₂Te₃ with the modulation depth, non-saturable loss, and saturable intensity of 38%, 31.2%, and 3.3 MW/cm², respectively. Stable soliton pulses emitting at 1930.07 nm were obtained with pulse duration of 1.24 ps, a 3-dB spectral bandwidth of 3.87 nm, an average output power of 130 mW, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 84 dB. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of Sb₂Te₃-based SA in fiber lasers at 2-μm regime.
