A graphene-PVA film is fabricated by using polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), which provides excellent mechanical property and easy operation. Raman spectra of the graphene-PVA film and graphene sheets are measured, which show that the spectra have the same characteristics. The passively mode-lock Er-doped fiber laser with graphene-PVA film as saturable absorber is made, which produces the mode-locked pulses with duration of 10.29 ps, peak wavelength of 1532.75 nm, and repetition rate of 8.7 MHz.
