A passively mode locked erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) operating at center wavelength of 1569.1 nm is demonstrated based on magnesium oxide (MgO) thin film as a saturable absorber (SA) for the first time. MgO SA was constructed using casting solvent method, and it found that it exhibits suitable mo...
