Recent Progress in CNT-Enhanced Fiber Optics

We demonstrate carbon nanotube (CNT)-incorporated optical nonlinear devices employing the interaction of CNTs with the evanescent field of propagating light in fibers for both passive mode-lockers of high-power fiber lasers and Kerr switches. We achieve 6.5-nJ picosecond output pulses as well as >20-dB switching extinction ratio with the proposed scheme.
