Abstract
Dark solitons, which have good stability, long transmission distance and strong anti-interference ability. By using a coprecipitation method, the high quality indium tin oxide (ITO) were prepared with an average diameter of 34.1â¯nm. We used a typical Z-scan scheme involving a balanced twin-detector measurement system to investigated nonlinear optical properties of the ITO nanoparticles. The saturation intensity and modulation depths are 13.21â¯MW/cm2 and 0.48%, respectively. In an erbium-doped fiber (EDF) lasers, we using the ITO nanoparticles as saturable absorber (SA), and the formation of dark soliton is experimentally demonstrated. The generated dark solitons are centered at the wavelength of 1561.1â¯nm with a repetition rate of 22.06â¯MHz. Besides, the pulse width and pulse-to-pulse interval of the dark solitons is â¼1.33ns and 45.11â¯ns, respectively. These results indicate that the ITO nanoparticles is a promising nanomaterial for ultrafast photonics.
