چکیده
A fiber pulsed laser with a 1cm cavity length and a 10GHz fundamental repetition-rate is demonstrated using a carbon nanotube-based mode-locker deposited within the laser cavity. This is the shortest fiber mode-locked laser ever reported to date.

All-fiber pulsed lasers passively mode locked by transferable vertically aligned carbon nanotube film.
An all-fiber passive laser mode locking is realized with a vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube film that can be transferred onto an arbitrary substrate using only hot water. A D-shaped fiber is employed as the substrate for the evanescent field interaction of propagating light with the nanotubes. The scheme highlights the efficient interaction achieved by the nanotube alignment as ...
متن کاملPassively mode-locking erbium-doped fiber lasers with 0.3 nm Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
We demonstrate a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) by using the smallest single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with a diameter of 0.3 nm as the saturable absorber. These ultrasmall SWNTs are fabricated in the elliptical nanochannels of a ZnAPO₄-11 (AEL) single crystal. By placing an AEL crystal into an EDFL cavity pumped by a 980 nm laser diode, stable passive mode-locking ...
متن کاملDynamics of a Dispersion-Managed Passively Mode-Locked Er-Doped Fiber Laser Using Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
We investigated the dynamics of a dispersion-managed, passively mode-locked, ultrashort-pulse, Er-doped fiber laser using a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) device. A numerical model was constructed for analysis of the SWNT fiber laser. The initial process of passive mode-locking, the characteristics of the output pulse, and the dynamics inside the cavity were investigated numerically for sol...
متن کاملNew Insight on a Vertically Aligned Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Film and an Application to All-Fiber Passive Mode-Locker
A new insight is gained on the structure of the vertically aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes (VA-SWNTs) [1-3] generated by alcohol catalytic CVD (ACCVD) technique [4]. The thickness-controlled growth of VA-SWNTs by using in-situ laser absorption method is now a routine [2]. Our recent finding of the simple removal method using hot-water [5] enabled us to transfer this film to various flat su...
متن کامل152 fs nanotube-mode-locked thulium-doped all-fiber laser
Ultrafast fiber lasers with broad bandwidth and short pulse duration have a variety of applications, such as ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy and supercontinuum generation. We report a simple and compact all-fiber thulium-doped femtosecond laser mode-locked by carbon nanotubes. The oscillator operates in slightly normal cavity dispersion at 0.055 ps(2), and delivers 152 fs pulses with 52.8 ...
