We report a substantial increase in the heat resistance in a connector-type single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) saturable absorber by sealing SWNT/P3HT composite with siloxane. By applying the saturable absorber to a passively mode-locked Er fiber laser, we successfully demonstrated 280 fs, 31 mW pulse generation with a fivefold improvement in heat resistance.
我们报道了通过用硅氧烷密封单壁碳纳米管(SWNT)/聚(3-己基噻吩)(P3HT)复合材料,使连接器型单壁碳纳米管可饱和吸收体的耐热性大幅提高。通过将该可饱和吸收体应用于被动锁模掺铒光纤激光器,我们成功实现了280飞秒、31毫瓦的脉冲输出,且耐热性提高了五倍。
