Abstract

© 2017 Author(s). We report power tunability in a fiber laser mode-locked with a solution-processed filtered graphene film on a fiber connector. ∼370 fs pulses are generated with output power continuously tunable from ∼4 up to ∼52 mW. This is a simple, low-cost, compact, portable, all-fiber ultrafast source for applications requiring environmentally stable, portable sources, such as imaging.
