Dark pulse mode-locked Erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) was demonstrated in this work by employing side polished fiber (SPF) coated with Ti3AlC2 solution using drop casting method. The modulation depth of fabricated SPF coated with Ti3AlC2 solution was characterized at 2.2%. This SPF coated structure...
