In the present work, for the first time, it is demonstrated that a zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film
deposited directly on a fiber ferrule using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a novel …

We present the operation of an ultrafast passively mode-locked fibre laser, in which flexible
control of the pulse formation mechanism is readily realised by an in-cavity programmable …

This study presents the femtosecond fundamental and harmonic mode-locked Er-doped
fiber laser with WS 2 solution saturable absorber (SSA). The SA is fabricated based on a D …

TaSe_2 nanosheets are prepared by means of ultrasound-assisted liquid phase exfoliation
(LPE) and the nonlinear saturable absorption properties are experimentally investigated …

We demonstrate an all-fiber thulium-doped femtosecond laser by using microfiber coated
with gold nanorods (MF-GNRs) as a saturable absorber (SA). The MF-GNR SA exhibits a …
