In this paper, Europium Oxide (Eu2O3) is used as a saturable absorber (SA) to produce Q-switched and mode-locked pulses in an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity. The Eu2O3 was synthesized using casting technique and the resulting Eu2O3 thin film was introduced between two optical fiber ferrule c...
