Carbon-nanotube and graphene photonics

Abstract

■ CNT and graphene is an emerging new materials with various promising photonic applications in laser mode-locking and nonlinear photonic devices. ■ From long (∼100m) to very short (∼1cm) mode-locked fiber lasers in various ML regime have been demonstrated. ■ Wide wavelength band, high-power operation ■ Possibility of nonlinear CNT functional devices ■ New possibility: Graphene
