Graphene in chitin based passive Q-switcher

Many materials have been utilized as saturable absorbers in generating pulsed lasers. By incorporating them with host polymers such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene oxide (PEO), the process of saturable absorber integration into the laser cavity is made e...

This work reported the generation of Q-switched pulsed lasers based on graphene embedded in chitin saturable absorber. Graphene: chitin with a concentration of 1:1 and 1.5:1 are integrated into a fiber laser cavity and the laser performance of both SAs are recorded and compared.
