Tunable Q-Switched Fiber Laser Based on a Graphene Saturable Absorber Without Additional Tuning Element

A tunable passively Q-switched fiber laser is fabricated using a graphene saturable absorber. The graphene saturable absorber is composed of a tapered fiber coated with graphene nanosheets. It combines the abilities of a saturable absorber and power-dependent tunable filter, thereby simplifying the...
