We demonstrate the generation of mode-locked pulses from a double-clad ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) employing a saturable absorber (SA) made of a few layers of black phosphorus (BP). The BP SA was prepared by mechanically exfoliating BP crystal and spreading the acquired BP flakes on a piece o...
