This paper reports a generation of short-pulsed thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) in Q-switching operation incorporation of homemade graphene oxide (GO) saturable absorber (SA). The GO SA is embedded with a polymer to form a GO film. A piece of the GO film is integrated into the TDFL cavity for gener...
