Solitons are stable localized wave packets that can propagate long distance in dispersive
media without changing their shapes. As particle-like nonlinear localized waves, solitons …

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 …

One and two dimensional forms of carbon, Carbon nanotube and graphene, have
interesting and useful not only electronic but also photonic properties. This tutorial will …

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

There is an increasing demand for all-fiber passively mode-locked lasers with pulse
repetition rates in the order of gigahertz for their potential applications in fields such as …

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 …

We demonstrate a novel passive mode-locking scheme for pulsed lasers enhanced by the
interaction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with the evanescent field of propagating light in a D …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess remarkable nonlinear optical properties; a particular
application is to function as a mode locker used in ultrafast fiber lasers to produce ultrashort …

We demonstrate a high-repetition-rate soliton fiber laser that is based on highly doped
anomalously dispersive erbium-doped fiber. By splicing an 11mm single-mode fiber to the …
