Abstract
We have proposed a nanotube-mode-locking fiber laser that can generate conventional solitons and stretched pulses in the same cavity. The net cavity dispersion of laser is slightly negative. The central wavelength and bandwidth of the conventional solitons are 1584.7 and 9.2 nm, respectively. The stretched pulse locates at 1572 nm with a bandwidth of 18.8 nm. The switchable mode-locking operation is mainly attributable to the bandwidth-dependent stretching factor that is tunable due to the spectral filtering effect induced by nonlinear polarization rotation.
