Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3), a type of topological insulators, is currently in hot pursuit due to its unique physical properties. Therefore, this paper describes a simple Q-switched Ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) by using Bi2Te3 thin-film as saturable absorber. The few layers Bi2Te3 film was fabr...
