Abstract

The invention relates to a saturable absorber for a fiber laser and a preparation method thereof. The saturable absorber is a transmission-type tapered saturable absorber, comprising a core (101), a cladding (102), Coating layer (103) and heterojunction layer. Layered graphene and Bi obtained by exfoliating the liquid phase 2 Te 3 The solution can be obtained by attaching to the tapered region of the tapered single-mode fiber by light adsorption. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages of high damage threshold, simple structure, bidirectional transmission fiber laser capable of carrying high power, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fiber lasers, in particular to a saturable absorber for fiber lasers and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the application of fiber lasers in China has become more and more popular. Such as material processing, laser marking, laser medical treatment, optical communication, scientific research, etc. Compared with solid-state lasers, fiber lasers use rare-earth ion-doped fibers as the gain medium, which has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, so the heat dissipation efficiency is high and the structure is simpler and lighter. [0003] At present, low-dimensional nanomaterials for passively mode-locked fiber lasers are being studied by many research groups at home and abroad. These materials include zero-dimensional nanocrystals / quantum dots (Au nanoions, metal halide perovskite quantum dots and nanocrystals, PbS quantum dots, etc.), one-dimensional nanowires (Cu nanowires...
