doped fiber laser (THDFL) using molybdenum oxide (MoO x) deposited onto a tapered fiber
as a saturable absorber (SA). The SA was fabricated using the optical deposition technique
for 2.0 µm region operation. The modulation depth, saturation intensity and non-saturable
loss of MoO x SA were measured to be~ 24.3%,~ 0.01 MW/cm 2 and~ 75.7%, respectively.
The threshold of the mode-locking operation was obtained at a pump power of 184.3 mW …
