Carbon nanotubes for ultrafast fibre lasers
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess both remarkable optical properties and high potential for integration in various photonic devices. We overview, here, recent progress in CNT applications in fibre optics putting particular emphasis on fibre lasers. We discuss fabrication and characterisation of different CNTs, development of CNTbased saturable absorbers (CNT-SA), their integration and operation i...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes for ultrafast photonics
Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) are of great interest in photonics and optoelectronics due to their linear and non-linear optical properties. Features in the optical absorption and emission spectra are generated by excitonic transitions [1–3]. SWNTs show strong third order nonlinearities through these excitonic transitions, as they become more transparent when irradiated by high power (sat...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Polycarbonate Composites for Ultrafast Lasers
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are at the center of nanotechnology research. Their nonlinear optical behavior makes them promising for applications in ultrafast photonics. SWNTs are indeed good saturable absorbers, i.e., they are transparent to high-intensity light, with ultrafast recovery time. Saturable absorbers must always keep a delicate balance between the modulation depth and nonsa...
متن کاملGraphene-clad microfibre saturable absorber for ultrafast fibre lasers
Graphene, whose absorbance is approximately independent of wavelength, allows broadband light-matter interactions with ultrafast responses. The interband optical absorption of graphene can be saturated readily under strong excitation, thereby enabling scientists to exploit the photonic properties of graphene to realize ultrafast lasers. The evanescent field interaction scheme of the propagating...
متن کاملUltrafast Spectroscopy of Carbon Nanotubes
Time-domain spectroscopic studies provide a unique perspective on the materials properties and the microscopic processes underlying them in carbon nanotubes. Ultrafast spectroscopy is used to study the dynamics and kinetics of scattering and relaxation processes from the femtosecond (1 fs ≡ 10−15 s) to the picosecond timescale. This provides crucial information on carrier and exciton dynamics t...
