In this Letter, we demonstrate a graphene mode-locked, all-fiber Ho-doped fiber laser generating 1.3 nJ energy pulses directly from the oscillator. The graphene used as a saturable absorber was obtained via chemical vapor deposition on copper substrate and immersed in a poly(methyl methacrylate) support. The laser generated ultrashort soliton pulses at 2080 nm with bandwidth up to 6.1 nm. The influence of the output coupling ratio and the SA modulation depth on the mode-locking performance was also investigated.

Experimental and numerical study has been performed for three techniques of mode-locking in all-fiber Holmium laser. We have compared the fundamental repetition rate pulsed generation for mode-locking based on: nonlinear polarization evolution, polymer-free single-walled carbon nanotubes, and hybrid mode-locking. Experimental and numerical simulation results demonstrated the shortest pulse duration and maximum spectrum width for mode-locking based on the nonlinear polarization evolution: 1.

In the figure-of-9 oscillator, mode-locking is achieved based on the nonlinear amplifying loop mirror, employing a long gain fiber to provide sufficient gain in 2.

Single-polarization and single-transverse mode operation regimes were observed with a linewidth of the order of 10 kHz and output power up to 53 mW at 2.07 μm.

A NPR mode-locked Tm-doped ring cavity was designed as the seed, which could generate h-shaped pulses at 1.
