Abstract

We have successfully generated soliton mode-locked pulses in a ring Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) saturable absorber. The MoS2 thin film was grown onto ITO substrate through electro-deposition process using a mixture of 0.5M H2MoO4 and 0.5M Na2S2O3.5H2O as electrolyte solution. The EDFL produced stable soliton pulses operating at centre wavelength of 1557 nm and repetition rate of 1.88 MHz. The mode-locking was realized by injecting pump power within a range from 77 mW to 124 mW. It generates the maximum output power of 0.7 mW and pulse width of 3.0 ps.
