A gold nanoparticle-based saturable absorber (SA) was successfully employed in Neodymiumdoped fiber laser (NDFL) cavity for pulse generation via a Q-switching mechanism for the first time. The SA device was made by mixing the gold nanoparticles into PVA solution before being dried to form a thin fil...
