Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation of a chromium-doped zinc selenide nanoparticle saturable absorber and an all-fiber Q-switched laser formed by the same, belonging to the technical field of fiberlaser. The chromium-doped zinc selenide has a wide absorption band and a large absorption cross section in a 1.5-2.1 [mu]m wave band, has a high damage threshold and can be used as an excellent saturable absorber. The chromium-doped zinc selenide nano-particles prepared by a femtosecond laser ablation method are doped into polyvinyl alcohol or polymethyl methacrylate to prepare the film saturableabsorber. The invention also provides an annular cavity Q-switched laser adopting the saturable absorber. The annular cavity Q-switched laser comprises a wavelength division multiplexer, a gain optical fiber, an optical isolator, a polarization controller, a saturable absorber and an optical fiber coupler. The saturable absorber based on the nano particle film has the advantages of simple preparation process, low cost, easiness in integration and the like, and meanwhile, the constructed all-fiber structure laser has the advantages of compact structure, stable performance and the like, and issuitable for practical application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber laser technology, in particular to the preparation of a chromium-doped zinc selenide nanoparticle saturable absorber and its composition Q laser. Background technique [0002] fiber optic tuning Q Lasers have the characteristics of good beam quality, high peak power, and easy integration. They play an extremely important role in the fields of optical communication, laser processing, biomedicine, optical fiber sensing, and lidar. Inserting a Saturable Absorber in the Laser Cavity for Passive Tuning Q It is a very commonly used technology. Using the saturable absorption characteristics of materials, when the light intensity is small, the transmission of the material is very small, the loss in the cavity is very large, and lasing cannot be formed. When the light intensity increases to saturate light When it is strong, the material permeates greatly, the loss in the cavity decreases, and a pulse is est...
