摘要
We have proposed a compact dual-wavelength all-fiber pulse laser based on a single-walled carbon nanotube and chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs). A transmission filter is composed of a circulator and two CFBGs and is capable of controlling the operation of the proposed fiber laser. Mode-locking operations can be switched between 1551.2 and 1548.6 nm with the appropriate adjustment of polarization controller. Our laser delivers the pulses with the spectral bandwidth of about 0.6 nm and the pulse duration of about 7 ps. This work provides a low-cost, stable, and dual-wavelength ultrafast-pulsed laser source suitable for practical applications.
