The ultranarrow bandwidth mode-locked laser can be tuned for pulse duration.

Caption

The ultranarrow bandwidth mode-locked laser can be tuned for pulse duration. It uses a new filter configuration and single-walled carbon nanotube as saturable absorbers. The laser has a nearly 1-nanosecond tuning range for pulse-width, the largest reported to date.
