We managed to produce a stable Q-switched pulse laser operating at 1563 nm using Lutetium (III) oxide (Lu2O3) material as a saturable absorber (SA). The Lu2O3 was deposited onto a D-shaped optical fiber and inserted into an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity for pulse generation. The D-shaped fi...
