Mode-locked operation in thulium-holmium doped fiber laser based on Cr2AlC MAX phase SA coated arc-shaped fiber

This study presents the application of MAX phase material as a mode-locker in the thulium-holmium-doped fiber laser (THDFL) cavity in generating ultrashort pulses. MAX phase materials were rapidly developed for applications in the pulsed laser field due to their promising properties and characterist...
