摘要：

A flash-lamp pumped passively mode-locked neodymium-doped vanadate lasers operated at 1.34 mu m wavelength have been developed using a novel saturable absorber consisted of single-wall carbon nanotubes incorporated in a polymer matrix. Laser pulses with the output energy up to 50 mu J and the duration of 30 ps were generated.
