Abstract
We present the synchronization of two all-fiber mode-locked lasers, operating at and , coupled through the use of a shared single-wall carbon nanotube absorber. Both lasers operate in the soliton-regime, achieving a synchronized repetition rate of . The broadband absorption range of the single-wall carbon nanotubes allows the stable mode-locking behavior at and . The nonlinear coupling effects between two energy states of the carbon nanotube absorber result in stable synchronized pulses for hours of operation, with a large cavity mismatch of .
