We report the fabrication of an erbium-doped fiber-based saturable absorber (SA) of niobium aluminium carbide (NbAlC) nanomaterial that can generate a dissipative soliton mode-locked pulse. Stable mode-locked pulses operating at 1530 nm with repetition rates of 1 MHz and pulse widths of 6.375 ps were produced using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and the Nb2AlC nanomaterial. A peak pulse energy of 7.43 nJ was measured at 175.87 mW pump power. In addition to providing some useful design suggestions for manufacturing SAs based on MAX phase materials, this work shows the MAX phase materials' immense potential for making ultra-short laser pulses.
我们报道了一种基于掺铒光纤的碳化铌铝（NbAlC）纳米材料可饱和吸收体（SA）的制备，该可饱和吸收体能够产生耗散孤子锁模脉冲。使用聚乙烯醇（PVA）和Nb2AlC纳米材料产生了在1530 nm处工作、重复频率为1 MHz且脉冲宽度为6.375 ps的稳定锁模脉冲。在175.87 mW泵浦功率下测得的峰值脉冲能量为7.43 nJ。除了为基于MAX相材料制造可饱和吸收体提供一些有用的设计建议外，这项工作还展示了MAX相材料在产生超短激光脉冲方面的巨大潜力。
