摘要

We report the first demonstration of a Zn (II) Schiff base complex deposited onto a side-polished fiber (SPF) as a saturable absorber (SA) for soliton mode-locking in an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). The complex was synthesized via a one-pot reflux condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, followed by coordination with zinc (II) acetate, and subsequently dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide solution. The mixed solution was drop-cast onto the SPF to harness the strong evanescent field interaction, forming an integrated all-fiber SA device. Incorporation of the device into a ring-cavity EDFL enabled stable soliton pulse generation at 1569.03 nm, delivering 1.30 ps pulses at a repetition rate of 1.91 MHz. The laser exhibited a linear increase in output power, pulse energy, and peak power with pump power. At a pump power of 138.68 mW, the pulse energy and peak power reached 1.96 nJ and 1.51 kW, respectively. These results demonstrate that the Zn (II)-complex-coated SPF serves as a novel, practical, and efficient SA for compact and power-scalable ultrafast fiber lasers.
