We report on generation of a dual-wavelength,all-fiber,passively Q-switched ytterbium-doped fiber laser using aluminum oxide nanoparticle (Al2O3-NP) thin film.A thin film of Al2 O3 was prepared by embedding Al2 O3-NPs into a polyvinyl alcohol (P VA) as a host polymer,and then inserted between two fiber ferrules to act as a saturable absorber (SA).By incorporating the Al2O3-PVA SA into the laser cavity,a stable dual-wavelength pulse output centered at 1050 and 1060.7nm is observed at threshold pump power of 80mW.As the pump power is gradually increased from 80 to 300mW,the repetition rate of the generated pulse increases from 16.23 to 59 kHz,while the pulse width decreases from 19 to 6 μs.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first demonstration for this type of SA operating in the 1 μm region.
