摘要
We demonstrate simultaneous femtosecond pulse generation at 1.55 and 1.07 mu m using a passively mode-locked Er- and Yb-doped fiber laser whose two ring cavities share the same SWNT saturable absorber. Pulse widths as short as 270 similar to 290 fs were simultaneously obtained at both wavelengths.
