SATURABLE ABSORBER MODULE BASED ON A POLYMER COMPOSITE WITH SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

The proposed technical solution relates to optical elements for fibre lasers. The saturable absorber module is embodied on a single-mode fibre and comprises a film consisting of a polymer composite with single-walled carbon nanotubes, applied to a longitudinally polished surface of the fibre cladding, and a polarizer. The result is the efficient generation of pulsed polarized radiation and high optical resistance.
