We demonstrated a Q-switched Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) using indium-tin-oxide (ITO) deposited onto D-shape fiber as a saturable absorber (SA). The D-shaped fiber was prepared using polishing wheel technique while the ITO was deposited onto the polished surface using electron beam deposition te...
