Q-switched erbium-doped fibre laser using graphene-based saturable absorber obtained by mechanical exfoliation
A stable passively Q-switched erbium-doped fibre laser (EDFL) operating at 1536.5 nm is developed, using a 1 m long erbium-doped fibre as a gain medium and a simple graphene-based saturable absorber (SA). Using mechanical exfoliation, a single layer of graphene is obtained and deposited on the end f...
