Passive mode-locking of a Ti: Sapphire laser using low-dimensional carbon nanostructures

• We report on passive mode-locking of a Ti:sapphire laser employing novel saturable absorbers based on low-dimensional carbon nanostructures such as single-walled carbon nanotubes and monolayer graphene. The mode-locked operation with both saturable absorbers were characterized and compared to pure Kerr-lens mode-locking.
