Passively Q-switched Ytterbium-doped fiber laser using zinc phthalocyanine thin film as saturable absorber

This paper presents a ZnPc: PVA film as saturable absorber (SA) for Q-switched pulse generation at 1-micron region. The SA film was obtained by embedding the ZnPc into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). It was inserted into an Ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) cavity to act as a Q-switcher. The Q-switching o...
