Revealing the nature of morphological changes in carbon nanotube-polymer saturable absorber under high-power laser irradiation

Abstract Composites of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and water-soluble polymers (WSP) are the focus of significant worldwide research due to a number of applications in biotechnology and photonics, particularly for ultrashort pulse generation. Despite the unique possibility of constructing...
