摘要：

We report the fabrication of high optical quality single wall carbon nanotube polyvinyl alcohol composites and their application in nanotube based photonic devices. These show a broad absorption of semiconductor tubes centred at similar to 1. 55 mu m, the spectral range of interest for optical communications. The films are used as mode-lockers in an erbium doped fibre laser, achieving similar to 700 fs mode-locked pulses. Raman spectroscopy shows no damage after a long time continuous laser operation.
