Generating pulsed lasers
The laser diode is ON and current (mA) is pumped into the experiment
STEP 2 setup by using 980 nm laser diode
Then the signal produced which the continuous wave (CW) is captured and
recorded by using OSA
The spectrum of the signal is adjusted by vary the SWEEP and SPAN on
the instrument to get better view of the signal
Then the laser diode is OFF to locate the thin film of Bi2Se3 or Bi2Te3
between two fiber ferrules
STEP 3 The saturable absorber is placed on the fiber ferrule by using the index
matching gel
5 Experimental Step
The laser diode is ON and the current is pumped into the experiment circuit gradually
until the signal (stable sine wave) shown where the Q-switched is occurred on the digital

For Bi2Te3
Pump power increased from 25.0 to 106.4 mW. The Q-switching operating has the shortest pulse width of
6.56 s, and the maximum pulse energy up to 126 nJ.
In a nut shell, found that Bi2Te3 film performed better than Bi2Se3 in terms of pulse energy and wider
Both TI films possess the potential advantage for stable Q-switched pulse generation at 1.5 m.
