Abstract
A carbon-nanotube mode-locked erbium fiber laser with large net anomalous dispersion is presented. A chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) pair is incorporated to increase the net-cavity anomalous dispersion and soliton splitting threshold. Self-started mode-locked laser produces stable pulses with repetition rate of 9.26 MHz. Laser spectrum is centered at ∼1560 nm with 3 dB bandwidth of 0.43 nm. The typical output pulse energy and duration is 0.21 nJ and 8.05 ps, respectively.
