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...
