Abstract
We demonstrated a concave gold bipyramids (CAuBPs) quasi-2D saturable absorbers (SAs) based ~2 μm band fiber laser for the first time. CAuBPs were synthesized by using modified aqueous wet-chemical synthesis method. Through controlling the size and morphology of CAuBPs, the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance peak of CAuBPs based quasi-2D SA is tuned to be ~2 μm. Passively Q-switched lasing of thulium-doped fiber laser is achieved successfully with a maximum average output power of 9.72 mW and ~9% slope efficiency. The minimum pulse width is 4.56 µs at the repetition rate of 20 kHz. Experimental results reveals that CAuBPs could be used as SAs in the 2 µm region, which verifies the saturable absorption properties of CAuBPs.
