Carbon nanotube mode-locked fiber lasers: recent progress and perspectives

Carbon nanotube mode-locked fiber lasers: recent progress and perspectives

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess remarkable nonlinear optical properties; a particular application is to function as a mode locker used in ultrafast fiber lasers to produce ultrashort optical pulses. Various types of CNT saturable absorbers (SAs) and ultrafast fiber lasers have been demonstrated. In...
