C-band tunable Q-switched fiber laser based on Alq3 as a saturable absorber

We propose a Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) with a wide-tuning wavelength range by using Alq3 as a saturable absorber (SA). A tunable bandpass filter (TBF) was integrated into the cavity to produce a tunable wavelength. The wavelength was shifted continuously with ease from 1520 nm to 15...
