Q-Switching and Mode-Locking in Highly Doped Zr2O3–Al2O3–Er2O3 -Doped Fiber Lasers Using Graphene as a Saturable Absorber
The application of graphene as a saturable absorber (SA) for generating Q-switched and mode-locked pulses in a Zirconia-Erbium-doped fiber (Zr-EDF) laser is explored. Graphene-based SAs have a very wide operational range, which complements the extended operational bandwidth of the Zr-EDF. The Zr-EDF...
