Passively Q-Switched Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser Employing a Glycerin-Based Saturable Absorber

Passively Q-Switched Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser Employing a Glycerin-Based Saturable Absorber

A passively Q-switched Thulium-doped fiber laser based on glycerin as the saturable absorber is experimentally demonstrated for the first time. The saturable absorber consists of two FC/PC connectors aligned within a mechanical fiber-fiber coupler, with the intervening gap filled with glycerin. Such...
