This work demonstrates a femtosecond pulse generation of erbium-doped fibre laser utilising nickel oxide (NiO) as saturable absorbing material. The prepared composite of NiO/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was successfully transferred onto a plane of tapered fibre through spin- coating technique. Based...
