Q-switched dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser using graphene as a saturable absorber

We proposed stable Q-switched dual-wavelength initiated by graphene as saturable absorber inside erbium-doped fiber laser cavity. Continuous-wave and pulse spectrum of erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) was successfully demonstrated and analysed where the lasing starts at a pump power of 50.4 mW. Thres...

Description
Summary:We proposed stable Q-switched dual-wavelength initiated by graphene as saturable absorber inside erbium-doped fiber laser cavity. Continuous-wave and pulse spectrum of erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) was successfully demonstrated and analysed where the lasing starts at a pump power of 50.4 mW. Threshold pump power generates continuous-wave at 1560 nm which is then shifted to 1558.7 nm as the SA is inserted. Q-switched EDFL generates a maximum repetition rate of 115.9 kHz which corresponds to a pulse width of 41 μs. The generation of dual-wavelength at two different wavelengths are also demonstrated in these works.
