Q-switching and mode-locking pulse generation with graphene oxide paper-based saturable absorber

Q-switched and mode-locked erbium-doped fibre lasers (EDFLs) are demonstrated by using non-conductive graphene oxide (GO) paper as a saturable absorber (SA). A stable and self-starting Q-switched operation was achieved at 1534.4 nm by using a 0.8 m long erbium-doped fibre (EDF) as a gain medium. The...
