Passive Q-Switching of an All-Fiber Laser Using WS <sub>2</sub>-Deposited Optical Fiber Taper

We demonstrate the passive Q-switching operation of an erbium-doped fiber laser using a few-layer WS<sub>2</sub>-based saturable absorber with evanescent field interaction. WS<sub>2</sub> flakes have been synthesized via a liquid-phase exfoliation method, and an optical fiber...
