    MoSSe mechanical exfoliation process and deposition onto the fiber ferrule.
    Characterization of MoSSe SA Raman spectrum. The insets of Fig. 2 show (a) the linear absorption, (b) the non-linear absorption measurement, and (c) the microscope image capture of the SA.
    Setup of the proposed Q-switched YDF laser.
    Q-switched pulsed output at 1 μm, showing (a) the optical output as obtained using an OSA and a Q-switched pulse train obtained using an RFSA (inset) and (b) single-pulse RFSA and wide-band RFSA (inset).
    (a) Repetition rate and pulse width and (b) output power and pulse energy as a function of the rising pump power.
