The rapid developments in transition metal dichalcogenide materials as saturable absorbers (SAs) have been reported to be efficient materials for generating Q-switched fiber lasers. In this paper, we report on the use of samarium oxide (Sm2O3)saturable absorber (SA) for 1-micron Q-switched fiber las...
