Graphene-Oxide-Based Saturable Absorber for All-Fiber Q-Switching With a Simple Optical Deposition Technique

A Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) incorporating a graphene-oxide-based saturable absorber (SA) is proposed and demonstrated. The SA is fabricated by first dissolving graphene oxide nanopowder in water and subsequently using the thermophoresis effect to deposit it onto the fiber ferrule. T...
