A noise-like pulse (NLP) thulium-doped fiber laser based on single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is proposed and demonstrated. SWCNTs-decorated microfiber acts as a saturable absorber to generate ultrafast pulses. Experimental results show the generation of NLP with specific parameters under appropriate conditions.
A noise-like pulse (NLP) thulium-doped fiber laser based on single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been proposed and demonstrated in this paper, which the microfiber decorated with SWCNTs work as a saturable absorber to generate an ultrafast pulse. The length of the cavity is 12 m, corresponding to the fundamental frequency of 17.2 MHz. NLP with a duration of 643 fs can be obtained at 1965 nm under the signal-to-noise ratio of 56 dB. This work may assist us to better understand the dynamic characteristic of NLP with the help of materials and offer a fine laser source to the subsequent applications just like the generation of supercontinuum.
