A Tale of Two Tantalum Borides as Potential Saturable Absorbers for Q-Switched Fiber Lasers

In this paper, we analyze the performance of two tantalum-based boride (TaB and TaB<sub>2</sub>) microparticles as potential saturable absorbers for high-power fiber lasers. Both materials are ultrahigh temperature ceramics with melting points above 3000 &#x00B0;C, but with different...
