A stable passive Q-switched ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) operating at 1057.4 and 1044.5 nm is demonstrated using two types of topological insulator-based saturable absorbers (SAs): bismuth (III) selenide (Bi2Se3) and bismuth (III) telluride (Bi2Te3). These materials are embedded in polyvinyl a...
