摘要：
A saturable absorber based on plane (tabular) stabilised silver nanocrystals, which is promising for picoseconds laser systems operating in the range 650-900 nm, is studied. This material has a plasmon decay time of about 2 ps, while its absorption at a pump intensity of 10 MW cm(-2) decreases by 1.6%, which is sufficient for using this crystal for passive mode locking.
