摘要: 文章提出了一种基于碳化钛(Ti3C2Tx)可饱和吸收体的锁模掺镱光纤激光器,并对其性能进行了研究。通过以Ti3C2Tx溶液与羧甲基纤维素钠(NaCMC)溶液混合的方式制备了碳化钛可饱和吸收体薄膜,并将其以“三明治”结构集成到环形腔掺镱光纤激光器中,成功实现了稳定的锁模脉冲输出。实验结果表明,在泵浦功率200 mW时,锁模光纤激光器的平均输出功率为6.77 mW,重复频率为27 MHz,脉冲宽度为667 fs。这不仅验证了碳化钛在超快光子学应用中的潜力,也为新型二维材料在激光技术中的进一步开发提供了参考。
Abstract: This paper proposes a mode-locked ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on a titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) saturable absorber and investigates its performance. The Ti3C2Tx saturable absorber film was prepared by mixing a titanium carbide solution with a sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) solution as the film-forming agent. The film was integrated into a ring-cavity ytterbium-doped fiber laser in a “sandwich” structure, successfully achieving stable mode-locked pulse output. Experimental results show that, at a pump power of 200 mW, the mode-locked fiber laser achieved an average output power of 6.77 mW, a repetition rate of 27 MHz, and a pulse duration of 667 fs. This study not only verifies the potential of titanium carbide in ultrafast photonics applications but also provides a valuable reference for the further development of novel two-dimensional materials in laser technology.
