Abstract

A flash-lamp pumped passively mode-locked neodymium-doped vanadate lasers operated at 1.34 μm wavelength have been developed using a novel saturable absorber consisted of single-wall carbon nanotubes incorporated in a polymer matrix. Laser pulses with the output energy up to 50 μJ and the duration of 30 ps were generated.
