Abstract

We report a tunable wavelength fiber laser in Q switched regime using a droplet of single walled carbon nanotubes polymer composite as passive saturable absorber and array waveguide grating as wavelength selective element. The tuneable wavelength is around 18 nm and the repetition rate is fluctuated from 5.4 kHz to 15 kHz. The highest average output power is around 0.007 mW, the maximum pulse energy is 0.7 nJ and the minimum pulse width generated in this proposed set up is around 8 µs.
