Abstract
A Q-switched distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser using a graphene passive saturable
absorber is proposed in a cavity consisting of a fiber Bragg grating and Faraday rotator mirror as
end mirrors, together with a highly doped erbium-doped fiber as a gain source. The laser has a
Q-switched threshold of about 28 mW and a tunable repetition rate of 10.4-18.0 kHz with varying pump
power. The shortest pulse width obtained from the system is 3.7 <i>μ</i>s, with a maximum pulse energy and
peak power of 22.2 nJ and 3.4 mW, respectively.
