Abstract :
We demonstrate a passively mode-locked Erbium-doped fibre laser by using CVD fabricated graphene as both saturated absorber and dispersion compensator to achieve a 12-nJ energy pulse with 303-fs width, resulting in a 40-kW peak power, which is the highest value for graphene-based Erbium-doped passively mode-locked all-fibre laser.
