Description
Summary:In this thesis, we present results on the fabrication, transfer and characterization of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene and exfoliated graphene over glass and optical fiber substrates, to study optical properties of graphene and its application as a saturable absorber for Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). Monolayer CVD graphene and stacked CVD graphene samples were fabricated and characterized, transferred to the transverse face of optical fibers, and a study on the relation between the optical properties of graphene samples and the properties of ultrashort laser pulses generated in (EDFL) was performed. Furthermore, we have developed a technique for transferring exfoliated nanomaterials which allowed us to transfer exfoliated graphene onto optical fiber s faces and align the graphene flake to the fiber core. With this transfer technique it is possible to fabricate samples with controlled number of graphene layers onto optical fiber faces. As application, we demonstrate ultrashort pulse generation in Erbium-doped fiber laser with exfoliated monolayer graphene samples as saturable absorber. This is the first time that ultrashort laser pulses are generated with a single exfoliated monolayer graphene sample.
