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. Sub-200 fs soliton pulses 0.27 nJ pulse energy were...
We present a study on antimony telluride (Sb2Te3)-deposited side-polished fiber device as saturable absorber for Yb-doped mode-locked lasers. Thin layers of Sb2Te3 with variable length were deposited by pulsed magnetron sputtering technique. demonstrate measured characteristics the and show that it can be treated hybrid component - tunable polarizer absorption properties. The polarizing extinction ratio varies from 1.5 dB up to 17.1 increasing deposition. components employed in all-normal...
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...
We report on the first application of an antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) thin film as a saturable absorber (SA) in microchip laser. The 3–15 nm-thick Sb2Te3 films were deposited glass substrates by pulsed magnetron sputtering and they studied SEM, X-ray diffraction, Raman optical spectroscopy. absorption was confirmed at 1.56 μm for ns-long pulses revealing low saturation intensity 0.17 MW/cm2. laser based Tm:GdVO4 crystal diode-pumped ~802 nm. In continuous-wave regime, this generated 3.54 W...
A multi-phase composite based on the copper sulfide and bornite phases was obtained. The sintering process (inductive hot pressing method) multiple thermoelectric measurements lead, however, to complete reconstruction of structure. Structural, stability studies indicate that final material initially consisting 90% Cu2S 10% Cu5FeS4 is characterized by a figure merit (ZT) about 1.0 (900 [K]) with significantly improved in comparison bulk Cu2S-based materials. presence iron-rich stabilizes...
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...

The multi-component approach to materials design, together with the adaptation of processing conditions, is gaining increasing popularity in energy-conversion-oriented applications allowing highly effective catalysts be obtained.
For the first time, high entropy, transition metal-based chalcogenides are synthesized. The materials characterized by pentlandite structure, exhibiting promising functional properties with regard to multiple possible applications.
For the first time, an alternative way of improving stability Cu-based thermoelectric materials is proposed, with investigation two different copper chalcogenide–copper tetrahedrite composites, rich in sulfur and selenium anions, respectively. Based on preliminary DFT results, which indicate instability Sb-doped chalcogenide, Cu1.97S–Cu12Sb4S13 Cu2−xSe–Cu3SbSe3 composites are obtained using melt-solidification techniques, phase concentration varying from 1 to 10 wt.%.
