  • Abstract
    One and two dimensional forms of carbon, Carbon nanotube and graphene, have interesting and useful not only electronic but also photonic properties. This tutorial will review their photonic properties, linear and nonlinear, and applications of nonlinear photonic properties as laser mode lockers and nonlinear functional devices.
