We fabricated a Nickel oxide (NiO) polymer composite saturable absorber, and used it to passively generated Q-switch Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). It was tunable from 1535 to 1565 nm. At operating wavelength of 1535 nm, the repetition rate of the self-starting Q-switching pulses could be increase...
