ABSTRACT Passively mode-locked Yb3+-doped fiber lasers based on single-wall carbon nanotubes saturable absorber, have the advantages of simple structure, extremely narrow output pulse-width, good self-starting property, high beam quality and so on. They have potential application prospect in optical communications, fiber sensing, biological technology, physical technology, micro processing etc. This thesis study based on single-wall carbon nanotubes saturable absorber passively mode-locked Yb3+-doped fiber lasers, theoretically and experimentally. The detail research work can be classified as follows: 1．Numerically analyze the mode-locking mechanics of the Yb3+-doped fiber laser. Derivation of the relationships between the output coupling ratio k, cavity length L, slope efficiency η, and output power, is separately researched under the situation of ideally lossless and actually loss. It is found that when the cavity length is constant, in case of ideal, η is increasing with the increasing of k and tends to a stable value. In case of actual, when k increases, η increases firstly, then reaches a maximum value and decreases gradually. When k take a certain value, in case of actual, increasing L, η rapidly increases then keeps at a stable value. 2．Introduce the space energy level and physical characteristics of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Analyze its linear and nonlinear optical absorption properties. Experimentally pretreat the single-wall carbon nanotubes in order to make optical saturable absorber film. Put the nanotube powder into the benzene dichloride solvent, supersonic stir to make it become homogeneous organic solution. 3．Experimentally research on the passively mode-locked Yb3+-doped fiber laser, which uses the single-wall carbon nanotube as saturable absorber. By using optical deposition method, single-wall carbon nanotubes are coated as a saturable absorber film onto the fiber end, and connected into the Yb3+-doped fiber laser ring cavity. A stabl
