Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles successfully prepared from a nickel(ii) chloride hexahydrate precursor are used to form a chitosan capped NiO nanoparticle thin film to serve as a saturable absorber (SA) for the generation of passively Q-switched pulses in an erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL). The NiO...
