An all-fiber passively mode-locked Ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) was demonstrated by using a chemically exfoliated graphene as saturable absorber (SA). The obtained graphene flakes were embedded into a PEO polymer to provide a modulation depth of 16.2 % and incorporated into an YDFL cavity to g...
