Abstract :
We demonstrate optically-driven deposition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on erbium-doped fiber (EDF) facets for passively mode-locked fiber laser applications. A 21-dB difference in the reflectometry is observed showing successful deposition of CNTs. A passively mode-locked fiber laser incorporating the EDF with facet deposited with CNTs is constructed.
