This work discusses the fabrication of a nickel phosphate [Ni3(PO4)2]-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film and its application as an optical modulator for the generation of Q-switched pulses in the C-band region. A 50 cm long erbium-doped fiber with absorption coefficients of 250 dB/m and 16 dB/m at 98...
