Abstract :
Four-wave mixing (FWM) in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) wrapped on the cladding of a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) is demonstrated. FWM is generated by TFBG induced interaction of the core mode with the SWCNTs outer cladding. The wavelength tuning range of 8 nm is obtained.
