Q-switched fibre laser using 21 cm Bismuth-erbium doped fibre and graphene oxide as saturable absorber

A compact, Q-switched fibre laser is proposed and demonstrated using a compact Bismuth-based erbium doped fibre (Bi-EDF) together with a Graphene Oxide (GO) Saturable Absorber (SA). The 21 cm long Bi-EDF has an erbium dopant concentration of 6300 ppm with absorption rates of about 83 and 133 dB/m at...
