We demonstrated the manipulation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene on optical fiber ends for saturable absorbers (SAs) by optical deposition method. The nonlinear absorption of the prepared CNT-based SA is characterized and 0.9%-modulation depth is obtained. Furthermore, graphene can be deposi...
