We fabricated single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)/poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite freestanding films and examined their application in devices in which the saturable absorption of SWNTs at near-infrared optical telecommunication wavelengths can be utilized. In a passively mode-locked fiber laser, we integrated a 30-mu m-thick SWNT/PVA film into a fiber connection adaptor with the film sandwiched by a pair of fiber ferrules. A ring fiber laser with a SWNT/PVA saturable absorber was operated very easily in the mode-locked short-pulse mode with a pulse width of about 500 fs. Reproducible stable device performance was confirmed. In examining noise suppression for optical amplifiers, mixed light of semiconductor amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source and 370 fs laser pulses was passed through a 100-mu m-thick SWNT/PVA film. The transmission loss of the femtosecond pulse light was smaller than that of the ASE light. This proved that the SWNT/PVA film has the ability to suppress ASE noise.
