Title :
Optically assisted deposition of carbon nanotube saturable absorbers
Author_Institution :
OFS Lab., Somerset
Abstract :
We demonstrate a simple and practical method for incorporating carbon nanotubes on the end-face of optical fibers enabled by optical radiation propagating in the fiber. Modelocking is shown in both Erbium and Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers.
