Picosecond laser pulses are showing increasing importance in various industrial and scientific applications. Here, we exploit the saturable absorption of Vanadium Aluminum Carbide (V2AlC) MAX phase to produce soliton pulses in Erbium-doped fibre laser (EDFL) cavity. The V2AlC composite thin film fun...
