%X GeSe nanosheets
were prepared by ultrasonic-assisted liquid phase
exfoliation (LPE), and the nonlinear saturated absorption performance was
experimentally studied. The modulation depth and saturation intensity of the
prepared GeSe saturable absorber (SA) were 15% and 1.44 MW/cm2,
respectively. Using the saturated absorption
characteristics of GeSe SA, a passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser was systematically
demonstrated. As the pump power increases, the pulse repetition
frequency increases from 22.8 kHz to 77.59 kHz.
The shortest pulse duration is 1.51 ¦Ěs, and the corresponding pulse energy is 46.14 nJ. Experimental results show that GeSe nanosheets can be used
as high-efficiency SA in fiber lasers. Our results will provide a useful
reference for demonstrating pulsed fiber lasers based on GeSe equipment.
