Abstract:
In this work, a thin Mo 0.8 W 0.2 S 2 film is proposed and fabricated for the use as a saturable absorber (SA) in a thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) cavity. The few-layer Mo 0.8 W 0.2 S 2 nanoparticles are obtained through hydrothermal exfoliation as a thin film and suspended in a polymer host, which is then placed between two fiber ferrules to serve as an SA. The proposed laser is capable of generating outputs with a maximum repetition rate of 65.79 kHz and a minimum pulse width of 1.84 µs at the maximum pump power of 168.92...

...this pulse signal now travels along the laser cavity until it reaches a 2.0 ?m TBPF, which provides an advantage of tuning the output wavelength. The TBPF used is manufactured by Agiltron and has an insertion loss of 1.0 to 4.0 dB that varies in accordance to the wavelength...
