Abstract
Ultrafast fiber lasers with short pulses and broad bandwidth are in great demand for a variety of applications, such as spectroscopy, biomedical diagnosis and optical communications. In particular sub-200fs pulses are required for ultrafast spectroscopy with high temporal resolution. Graphene is an ideal ultra-wide-band saturable absorber. We report the generation of 174fs pulses from a graphene-based fiber laser
