摘要：

We fabricate a nanotube-polyvinyl alcohol saturable absorber with a broad absorption at 1.6 mu m. We demonstrate a pulsed fiber laser working in the telecommunication L band by using this composite as a mode locker. This gives similar to 498 +/- 16 fs pulses at 1601 nm with a 26.7 MHz repetition rate. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
