Intra-cavity dynamics of single-walled carbon nanotubes as the key parameter for regime selection in ultrashort-pulse erbium-doped fiber lasers
We present an experimental study of intracavity saturation behavior of natural saturable absorbers (SAs) based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) embedded in an erbium-doped fiber ring laser. Based on intracavity saturation dynamics measurements, the mechanism of passive mode-locking using home-made saturable absorbers composed of either pure SWCNTs or boron nitride-doped SWCNTs with modified characteristics has been investigated to explain the influence of SA properties on operation regimes realized. Through precise manipulation of pump power and SA characteristics, we demonstrate the generation of conservative solitons, harmonically mode-locking solitons, bound vector solitons, soliton molecules (comprising 3,4, and 5 pulses), and dissipative solitons in the erbium-doped fiber ring laser. This investigation reveals the relationship of SWCNT-SA characteristics with USP generation regimes observed, also enabling optimization of the essential features of SWCNT-SAs for effective pulse manipulation. Ultimately, this work demonstrates a stable source of ultra-short pulses with diverse characteristics meeting the requirements of various applications including telecommunications and quantum computing.
