This paper demonstrated a mode-locked fiber laser based on Alq3 as passive saturable absorber (SA) in a simple all-fiber Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) cavity. By incorporating Alq3 into the fiber laser cavity, a stable mode-locked pulsing was achieved. The laser pulses have a pulse width of 1.6 ps...
