Nickel oxide film saturable absorber for mode-locking operation at 1.55-micron region

The generation of mode-locking pulse train in Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity was demonstrated using Nickel Oxide (NiO) saturable absorber (SA). The NiO compound synthesized via sonochemical method was embedded into poly ethylene oxide (PEO) film through solution casting technique to fabricat...
