Low-loss saturable absorbers based on tapered fibers embedded in carbon nanotube/polymer composites

The emergence of low-dimensional materials has opened new opportunities in the fabrication of compact nonlinear photonic devices. Single-walled carbon nanotubes were among the first of those materials to attract the attention of the photonics community owing to their high third order susceptibility,...
