Nanosecond-pulse fiber lasers mode-locked with nanotubes

E. J. R. Kelleher, J. C. Travers, Z. Sun, A. G. Rozhin, A. C. Ferrari et al.
We demonstrate that mode-locking of ytterbium fiber lasers with a carbon nanotube saturable absorber can produce pulses ranging from 20 ps to 2 ns at repetition rates between 21 MHz and 177 kHz, respectively, depending on cavity length. Nonlinear polarization evolution is not responsible for mode-lo ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 95, 111108 (2009)] published Wed Sep 16, 2009.
