Abstract

The proposed titanium aluminum carbide (Ti₃AlC₂) film-based saturable absorber (SA) for Q-switching in thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) cavity offers a cost-effective and practical alternative to conventional SA materials such as graphene or semiconductor. The Ti₃AlC₂ film was produced using a simple and low-cost casting approach with polyvinyl alcohol as a binder. The SA was devised from the film using a sandwich-structured fiber-ferrule platform and integrated into a TDFL ring cavity. The generated Q-switched pulses were stable and had a repetition rate of up to 20.82 kHz with a minimum pulse width of 3.167 µs and a maximum pulse energy of 58.12 nJ. The Q-switched laser produced the bright-dark pulse pair. These results demonstrate the potential of Ti₃AlC₂ as a promising SA material for practical applications in the field of fiber lasers.
