Pulsed-laser-ablated gold-nanoparticles saturable absorber for mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers

We demonstrate the optical performance of passively mode-locked pulses in erbium-doped fiber laser incorporating gold-nanoparticles (Au-NPs) as a saturable absorber (SA). Au-NPs of diameters between 5 to 15 nm were synthesized using the pulsed laser ablation method and blended with polydimethylsilox...
