We have successfully realized the soliton pulse in a Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity, which was mode-locked by a Titanium Aluminum Carbide (Ti3AlC2) MAX phase based saturable absorber (SA). The SA was obtained by embedding the Ti3AlC2 compound into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in form of thin film...
