Measurement setupThe registered interference

Registered fringes with and without spectral filter



• a point-like white light source with a high degree of spatial coherence

• a possibility to obtain a collimated beam of white light with low divergency angle

Point-like source of white light based on graphene excited by a CW laser

Broadband fiber light source

• point-like emission area matching the core size of a typicalmultimode fiber

Layout of a potential bradband fiber light source


Broadband fiber light source

Insights

• emissivity depends on morphology, porous structure of graphene foam is an advantage

• emissivity higher than for an electric lamp with tungsten filament

• decay of light power over time


Hydrogen generation

Other application of ionization of graphene surface by laser
