  • Abstract
    Ultrafast lasers play a key role in a variety of devices, from basic research to materials processing and medicine. Graphene has great potential as saturable absorber for ultrafast lasers. Here we present an overview of graphene-based ultrafast lasers, from solution processing of the raw materials, to their incorporation into polymers, device fabrication and testing.
