Saturable Absorption of Copper Nanowires in Visible Regions for Short-Pulse Generation

A copper-nanowire (CuNWs)-based saturable absorber (SA) is utilized as a new Q-switcher for pulsed operations in visible regions. The plasmon resonance effect of CuNWs contributes to inducing the saturable absorption property. By incorporating the CuNWs-based SA into a red praseodymium Pr<sup>...
