We demonstrate the Q-switched and mode-locked pulse generation, using Molybdenum Aluminum Boride (MoAlB) material as a saturable absorber (SA). The SA film was obtained by mixing MoAlB with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution and then evaporating the mixture on a petri-dish. The prepared MoAlB PVA th...
