All-polarization maintaining femtosecond Er-doped fiber laser mode-locked by graphene saturable absorber

“…Based on the formula, the saturation Figure 3 (online color at www.lasphys.com) Graphene SA absorption as a function of peak intensity intensity of the multilayer graphene SA was calculated to be 0.08 MW/cm 2 , the modulation depth 3.6%, and nonsaturable absorption at the level of 44.2%. The obtained nonlinear absorption parameters are consistent with previous reports on mechanically exfoliated graphene [9,10]. The absorption peak located around 3 MW/cm 2 is a typical Rabi oscillation, which appears in two-level atomic systems under ultrafast excitation [32,33].…”

“…Fiber lasers mode-locked by graphene-based saturable absorbers have been under extremely strong investigations in recent 3 years. Since the first demonstration by [1], various setups were presented, utilizing mainly erbium- [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and ytterbium-doped fibers [12][13][14]. Those lasers have shown a great potential of generating ultra-short pulses with MHz-level repetition frequencies.…”
