We demonstrate that mode-locking of ytterbium fiber lasers with a carbon nanotube saturable absorber can produce pulses ranging from 20 ps to 2 ns at repetition rates between 21 MHz and 177 kHz, respectively, depending on cavity length. Nonlinear polarization evolution is not responsible for mode-locking. Even in the nanosecond regime, clean single pulses are observed and the pulse train exhibits low jitter. Combined with extremely large chirp, these properties are suited for chirped-pulse amplification systems. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3207828]
