Fabrication of the SixC1−x film and the configuration of the EDFL system.
(a) Fabrication process for obtaining a PECVD-grown SixC1−x film. The two photographs show the PECVD-grown SixC1−x film being lifted off under a buffer oxide etching solution and a PECVD-grown SixC1−x film on a SMF. (b) Configuration of the passively mode-locked EDFL with a SixC1−x saturable absorber.
