In this paper, we demonstrated a Q-switched erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) incorporating Antimony (III) Telluride (Sb2Te3) in polyvinyl alchohol (PVA) as passive saturable absorber. The saturable absorber was fabricated by dissolving Antimony (III) Telluride powder into PVA solution and dry in the...
