▎ 摘  要

Mid-infrared erbium (Er3+)-doped ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AIF(3)-NaF fiber laser mode-locked by multilayer graphene saturable absorber was demonstrated. Mode-locked pulses at 2.8 mu m with an average output power of 18 mW at a repetition rate of 25.4 MHz, corresponding to a pulse energy of 0.7 nJ, were obtained. The pulsewidth was measured to be similar to 42 ps by a home-made autocorrelator. Our experiment has validated the mode-locking capability of graphene in the 3-mu m wavelength region.
