摘要：
The authors propose and demonstrate a planar waveguide-type optical device based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). They realize saturable absorbers utilizing the interaction between the evanescent field of guiding mode and the CNTs. Saturable absorption characteristics are observed and insertion loss decreases similar to 3% by high power pulsed laser. The device shows that polarization dependence originated from the asymmetric structure of their device and over 15 dB polarization dependent loss. The saturable absorption is observed only in the polarization state that shows a maximum loss caused by the CNTs.
