Popis: We demonstrate metal oxides CuCrO2 exhibit considerable nonlinear saturable absorption property in the near-infrared region, and fabricate typical saturable absorber (SA) by wrapping the CuCrO2 nanoparticles(NPs) into a sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) film or polyimide (PI) film separately. These SA films could keep stable exposed to air condition for several months. In the CuCrO2-NaCMC (CuCrO2-PI) Q-switched fiber laser, the pulse repetition rate increases from 10.6 kHz (48.5 kHz) to 24.6 kHz (88.7 kHz) and the pulse duration decreases from 19. 08 μ s (3. 85 μ s ) to 3. 91 μ s (1. 18 μ s ) by adjusting the pump power from 53 mW (82.6 mW) to 188.6 mW (184.6 mW). The results suggest that CuCrO2 could be a promising SA for ultrafast lasers generation.
