A passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) was experimented on by employing graphene, single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) saturable absorbers (SA). The SA film was obtained by embedding the graphene, SWCNT and MWCNT into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)...
