- Graphene is known to be an outstanding material for generating femto-second optical pulses due to its ultra-fast optical absorption properties and compatibility to silica optical fibres. This paper reports pioneering work on simultaneous generation of two synchronized femto-second pulse trains with a special design of fibre laser cavity integrated with highly reproducible Graphene-based devices. Since the output pulses are truly synchronized from the same laser cavity, the results are significant in applications on high speed optical communications, material processing, optical frequency metrology, and biomedical applications. This work has established new research collaborations with Imperial College London, UK (r.woodward12@imperial.ac.uk).
