摘要：

We demonstrate passive mode-locking of a Raman fiber laser using a nanotube-based saturable absorber coupled to a net normal dispersion cavity. This generates highly chirped 500 ps pulses. These are then compressed down to 2 ps, with 1.4 kW peak power, making it a simple wavelength-versatile source for various applications. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
