  • Abstract
    We present our recent demonstrations of SWNT-based passively mode-locked fiber lasers. By using the SWNT/polymer bulk- and film-type saturable absorbers that we fabricated, 110~130 fs pulses were successfully generated in the 1.5 and 1.07 μm regions by optimizing the fiber cavity as a soliton laser.
