Passively Q-switched fiber lasers in the S- and C-band region were demonstrated using molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) as the saturable absorber (SA). The MoTe2 was prepared using liquid phase exfoliation method, which was then embedded in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer to form a MoTe2 thin film...
