Graphene-Based Mode-Locked Spectrum-Tunable Fiber Laser Using Mach–Zehnder Filter

An ultrafast spectrum-tunable fiber laser using a tunable Mach-Zehnder filter (TMZF) and a graphene-based saturable absorber as a mode-locking element is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed laser uses a 2-m-long zirconia-erbium-doped fiber (Zr-EDF) as the primary gain medium. The Zr-EDF has a do...
