A Q-switched Ytterbium doped fiber laser (YDFL) with a Vanadium oxides (V2O5) saturable absorber (SA) is used to demonstrate the generation of pulses in the 1 micron region. V2O5 compound purified from ammonium metavanadate was embedded into poly ethylene glycol (PEO) film to function as a SA. The p...
