An MoS2-based Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser with a low threshold and a wide range of repetition rate was successfully demonstrated. Bulk MoS2 flakes were formed by reducing the volume of MoS2-in-ethanol solution through evaporation at elevated temperature. The MoS2 flake was transferred mechan...
