Popis: In this letter, we synthesized p-type Zn doped hexagonal CuGaO2 (CGZO) nanoplates (NPs) by hydrothermal reaction and utilized the nonlinear optical properties of these plasmonic NPs to realized stable passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser output. We achieved tunable saturable absorbers (SAs) by changing the doping ratio of CGZO NPs. With the increase of the doping ratio, pulse duration decreases from 2.532 μs to 2.276 μs and the optical-optical conversion efficiency of the Q-switched laser increases from 1.36% to 1.70%. Our result suggests that CGZO is promising to allow tunable SAs to generate passively Q-switched fiber lasers.
