摘要：
We demonstrate deployment of the nonlinear saturable absorption property of the organic material poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) for pulse generation in the near-infrared region. The saturable absorber (SA) film was made using a straightforward process of depositing a layer of the PEDOT: PSS material onto a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. The prepared SA was inserted into an erbium-doped fiber laser cavity as a Q-switcher to produce laser pulses with a maximum pulse rate of 92.75 kHz, minimum pulse duration of 912 ns, and highest pulse energy of 222.83 nJ. Results showed that PEDOT: PSS/PVA SA could become a promising SA for various laser applications. To our knowledge, this is the first time that PEDOT: PSS/PVA has been utilized as a SA to produce a stable Q-switched laser in 1.55 mu m. (C) 2022 Optica Publishing Group
