In this article, we experimentally demonstrate that the pulse regime of an Er-doped fiber laser could be converted between conventional soliton and noise-like pulse by using fast response saturable absorbers (SA) made from different layers of single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNT). For the monolayer (ML) single-wall CNT-SA, CS with pulse duration of 439 fs at 1560 nm is achieved while for the bilayer (BL) single-wall CNT, NLP at 1560 nm with a 1.75 ps spike and a 98 ps pedestal is obtained. The transition mechanism from CS to NLP is investigated by analyzing the optical characteristics of ML and BL single-wall CNT. The further theoretical simulation illustrates that CNT-SA enables the switching between CS and NLP in anomalous dispersion regime in Er-doped fiber lasers. © 2020 by the authors. | Source Title: | Applied Sciences (Switzerland) | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/197616 | ISSN: | 20763417 | DOI: | 10.3390/app10165536 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
