Nanomaterials with remarkable optical, mechanical, and electrical properties have shed
new light on various fields including optoelectronics, sensors, biomedicine, and ultrafast …

Polymer composites are one of the most attractive near‐term means to exploit the unique
properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene. This is particularly true for composites aimed …

Due to its unique electronic property and the Pauli blocking principle, atomic layer graphene
possesses wavelength-independent ultrafast saturable absorption, which can be exploited …

Ultrashort-pulse lasers with spectral tuning capability have widespread applications in fields
such as spectroscopy, biomedical research and telecommunications,,. Mode-locked fibre …

We report an ultrafast laser mode-locked with a graphene saturable absorber. The linear
dispersions of the Dirac electrons in graphene enable wideband tunability. We get∼ 1 ps …

Ultrafast lasers play an increasingly important role in many applications. Nanotubes and
graphene have emerged as promising novel saturable absorbers for passive mode-locking …

Carbon nanotubes possess not only outstanding mechanical, electrical and thermal
properties but also unique nonlinear optical properties. In this Feature Article, we review the …

This graduate-level textbook starts with Maxwell's equations. If the reader finds this
reasonable, this book should be helpful. Focusing on ultrafast solid-state laser oscillators …

Single‐walled carbon‐nanotube absorbers are experimentally demonstrated for laser mode‐
locking. A saturable absorber device is used to mode‐lock three different bulk solid‐state …

We present for the first time to the best of our knowledge a systematic study of lifetime and
damage of semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) designed for operation in …
