Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate bright, dark, multiple optical pulses generation from a carbon nanotube-based dispersion-managed fiber ring laser under same pumping condition. The carbon-nanotube-based saturable absorber is fabricated by optically-driven deposition on a side-polished fiber.
