Abstract :
We demonstrate a turnkey, high power mode-locked all fiber laser modelocked by the hybrid modelocking mechanism consisting of a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror and a carbon nanotube-saturable absorber. Nitrogen sealing prevents damage of the nanotubes permitting long term stability at high output powers.
