Abstract
, the highest fundamental-mode repetition rate to our knowledge, of a carbon nanotube-based passively mode-locked laser is realized at by employing purified single-walled carbon nanotubes as saturable absorbers. The ultrashort linear laser cavity configured with a length is designed and demonstrated with our extremely miniaturized nanotube mode locker and a mirror-coated semiconductor optical amplifier as gain medium. The demonstrated pulsed laser has the inferred temporal pulse width of and a spectral bandwidth of .
