Abstract :
By means of doping the initial dissolved polymer, we have successfully fabricated optical-quality graphene-doped polymer nanofibers by a physical drawing technique. Using a waveguiding scheme, single graphene-doped polymer nanofibers exhibit broadband saturable absorbance (transmission change~10%).
