Aluminium zinc oxide as a saturable absorber for passively Q-switched and mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) are widely integrated in the field of optoelectronics since they are optically transparent and electrically conductive at the same time. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a well-developed TCO, but due to its high cost, aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) is now emerging as a promi...
