We report a study on hybrid mode-locked fiber laser with two saturable absorbers: slow and fast, integrated in single device. Amorphous antimony telluride (Sb(2)Te(3)) layer was deposited side-polished to form the absorber due third order nonlinear susceptibility of Sb(2)Te(3). Additionally, an unsymmetrical design device causes polarization-dependent losses together polarization controller allows use evolution artificial fast absorber.

Abstract Antimony telluride (Sb 2 Te 3 ) is an intermetallic compound crystallizing in a hexagonal lattice with R-3m space group. It creates c lose packed structure of ABCABC type. As intrinsic semiconductor characterized by excellent electrical properties, Sb widely used as low-temperature thermoelectric material. At the same time, due to unusual properties (strictly connected structure), antimony exhibits nonlinear optical including saturable absorption. Nanostructurization, elemental...

Multicomponent, transition-metal selenides characterized by TM3Se4 stoichiometry, and monoclinic pseudospinel structure were recently reported as promising catalysts for water-splitting processes. However, the initial data indicate that simple increase in number of composing elements might not be sufficient to maximize their performance, with systematic screening different regions multicomponent phase diagrams proving most effective approach. Thus, this work, a series highly conductive...
