TL;DR: In this article, a simple and rapid method to prepare multifunctional free-standing single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films with variable thicknesses ranging from a submonolayer to a few micrometers having outstanding properties for a broad range of exceptionally performing devices was reported.

TL;DR: The novel fabrication method of the polymer-free absorber and device parameters determined using nonlinear reflectivity measurement are described in detail and the observed operation bandwidth of approximately 1 microm is the broadest reported to date for a single carbon nanotube-based saturable absorber.

TL;DR: In this paper, a femtosecond pulse source that uses a mode-locked Tm-Ho oscillator and a self-frequency shift of Raman solitons in TmHo power amplifier is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the selective growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes with a certain mean diameter is achieved by the addition of appropriate amounts of CO2 mixed with the carbon source (CO) into the aerosol (floating catalyst) chemical vapor deposition reactor.

TL;DR: The 20 ns pulses are the shortest Q-switched pulses from a fiber laser operating beyond 1850 nm and were produced at a repetition rate of 57 kHz and pulse energy of 15 microJ using a short-length cavity.
