Rare-earth Yttrium oxide as Q-switcher in fiber laser system

Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3), a rare-earth material is used as saturable absorber (SA) to induce Q-switching operation in 1.55 µm regime. The Y2O3 was embedded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form a thin film so that it can be easily integrated into an Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity for modulating t...
