A stable Q-switched erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) emitting at 1560 nm is demonstrated by using molybdenum sulfide (MoS 2 ) material coated onto a side-polished D-shape fiber as a saturable absorber (SA). By incorporating the MoS 2 SA into the laser cavity, a stable Q-switching pulses train output...
