We demonstrated a Q-switched thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) based on Mxene Ti3C2T. saturable absorber (SA) as Q-switcher. Ti3C2T. was obtained using selective etching and embedded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. As the film was added into a TDFL cavity, a stable Q-switched pulse train operating...
