We employed a vertical evaporation technique to fabricate saturable absorbers by embedding single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in polymer (vinylalcohol). Two fast recovery time constants, 250fs and 1.13ps, respectively, were measured for the absorbers using a transient absorption experimental setup. The saturation intensity of the absorber was found to be 300–400μJ/cm2at 1060nm, and a modulation depth as high as 3.5% was achieved.
