“…Sorting/enrichment [196,251,[379][380][381] of SWNTs according to their diameter/band gap and electronic type opens the opportunity to further optimize device performance. For example, enriching a sample with (10,9), (12,7), (16,2),(17,0) tubes would be highly desirable for telecommunication applications specifically targeted at 1550 nm, since their eh 11 absorption ranges from 1545 to 1561 nm.…”

“…With the emergence of polymer optical fibers, the natural progression from silica-based EDFAs is the doping of rare earths into polymers. [12] There has also been increasing interest in doping rare earths in inorganic and organic waveguide components to produce waveguide optical amplifiers. [13][14][15] The ease of integrated-circuit fabrication provided by polymers, coupled with the expected high-gain performance in rare-earth materials, lead to increased activity in this field.…”

Nanotube–Polymer Composites for Ultrafast Photonics

Polymer composites are one of the most attractive near‐term means to exploit the unique properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene. This is particularly true for composites aimed at electronics and photonics, where a number of promising applications have already been demonstrated. One such example is nanotube‐based saturable absorbers. These can be used as all‐optical switches, optical amplifier noise suppressors, or mode‐lockers to generate ultrashort laser pulses. Here, we review various aspects of fabrication, characterization, device implementation and operation of nanotube‐polymer composites to be used in photonic applications. We also summarize recent results on graphene‐based saturable absorbers for ultrafast lasers.

Solid-state organic amplifiers and lasers are attractive for hybrid integration due to their compatibility with different material platforms, straightforward processing, and possibility to optimize easily their optical and electronic properties by molecular engineering. Advances in the gain medium design and synthesis in combination with new resonator architectures led to tremendous improvements in temporal and spectral properties, lifetime stability, gains produced and operating threshold powers, which triggered interest in their use for a broad range of integrated photonic applications. In this contribution, the current state-of-the-art in the field of organic solid-state amplifiers and lasers is reviewed from the aspects of fabrication technology, gain materials, and device performance. Furthermore, examples of the progress of this technology from a laboratory curiosity to one that demonstrates practical integrated photonic applications are highlighted. An outlook is also provided on research areas and applications that are likely to shape further developments of this technology. (Figure reprinted from [296],

“…The implementation of optical communication in the visible region demands the development of suitable optical amplifiers working in this region. POFs doped with dyes or rare earth elements are potential candidates for this purpose [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Laser dyes, which act as highly efficient media for la sing and amplification, have a wide range of tun ability in the visible region.…”

Rhodamine 6G and Rhodamine B dye mixture doped polymer optical fiber amplifier (POFA), which can operate in a broad wavelength region (60nm), has been successfully fabricated and tested. Tunable 0p-eration of the amplifier over a broad wavelength region is achieved by mixing different ratios of the dyes. The dye doped POFA is pumped axially using 532nm, IOns laser pulses from a frequency doubled Q·switched Nd: YAG laser and the signals are taken from an optical parametric oscillator. A maximum gain of 22.3 dB at 617 nm wavelength has been obtained for a 7 cm long dye mixture doped POFA. The effects of pump energy and length of the fiber on the performance of the fiber amplifier are also studied. There exists an optimum length for which the amplifier gain is at a maximum value. C
