2 GHz passively harmonic mode-locked fiber laser by a microfiber-based topological insulator saturable absorber.
We report on the generation of passive harmonic mode locking of a fiber laser using a microfiber-based topological insulator (TI) Bi(2)Te(3) saturable absorber (SA). The optical deposition method was employed to fabricate the microfiber-based TISA. By virtue of the excellent nonlinear optical property of the proposed TISA, the fiber laser could operate at the pulse repetition rate of 2.04 GHz u...
متن کاملModeling of a Single-Notch Microfiber Coupler for High-Sensitivity and Low Detection-Limit Refractive Index Sensing
A highly sensitive refractive index sensor with low detection limit based on an asymmetric optical microfiber coupler is proposed. It is composed of a silica optical microfiber and an As₂Se₃ optical microfiber. Due to the asymmetry of the microfiber materials, a single-notch transmission spectrum is demonstrated by the large refractive index difference between the two optical microfibers. Compa...
متن کاملFabrication and Applications of Microfiber
Microfibers have attracted growing interest recently especially in their fabrication methods and applications. This is due to a number of interesting optical properties of these devices, which can be used to develop low-cost, miniaturized and all-fiber based optical devices for various applications (Bilodeau et al., 1988; Birks and Li, 1992 ). For instance, many research efforts have focused on...
متن کاملMicrofiber Optical Sensors: A Review
With diameter close to or below the wavelength of guided light and high index contrast between the fiber core and the surrounding, an optical microfiber shows a variety of interesting waveguiding properties, including widely tailorable optical confinement, evanescent fields and waveguide dispersion. Among various microfiber applications, optical sensing has been attracting increasing research i...
متن کاملInvestigation of Temperature Sensitivity of a Polymer-Overlaid Microfiber Mach-Zehnder Interferometer
The temperature sensitivity of the free spectral range (FSR) for a polymer-overlaid microfiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The waist diameter of the optical microfiber can be controlled to alter the thermal expansion and optic properties of the polymer-coated MZI. Inserting an optical microfiber with a strong evanescent field into the...
