Q-switched Fiber Laser with Silver Nanoparticles-PVA in an Erbium-based Ring Configuration

This study examines the fabrication and experimental setup of a Q-switched fiber laser using a silver nanoparticle-polyvinyl alcohol (AgNPs-PVA) thin film as a saturable absorber. The thin film was produced by combining 5 mg of silver nanoparticles with 50 mg of polyvinyl alcohol in ionized water, f...
