Soliton Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser With Carbon Nanotube Saturable Absorber

IEEE Photonics Technol Lett. 2009 Feb 1;21(3):128-130. doi: 10.1109/LPT.2008.2008727.

Abstract

We report stabilization of a thulium-holmium codoped fiber soliton laser with a saturable absorber based on carbon nanotubes. The laser generates transform-limited 750-fs pulses with 0.5-nJ energy.
