Abstract
A passively mode-locked Tm:CLNGG laser using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as a saturable absorber (SA) is demonstrated at 2017 nm. Pulses as short as 78 fs are generated at an 86 MHz repetition rate with an average output power of 54 mW. By increasing the output coupling from 0.5% to 1.5%, a higher power of 100 mW is achieved for slightly longer pulses with a duration of 105 fs at 1996 nm.
