Abstract
We present an Er-doped fiber mode-locked laser based on an evanescent field interaction with the Sb2Te3 topological insulator. The saturable absorber (SA) consist of a bulk piece of Sb2Te3 material placed on the side-polished fiber in the presence of UV curable polymer. The measured SA optical parameters like: linear absorption, modulation depth and non-saturable loses were of 50%, 6% and 43%, respectively. The SA was spliced into the ring laser cavities characterized by the all-anomalous, all-normal and balanced dispersion. Such laser resonators allowed for optical solitons, dissipative solitons and Gaussian pulses generation with 3dB bandwidth of 8.5 nm, 37 nm and 17 nm, respectively.
