Recent advance of emerging low-dimensional materials for vector soliton generation in fiber lasers

Enhanced optical nonlinearities in Ti3C2 MXene decorated Fe3O4 nanocomposites for highly stable ultrafast pulse generation

Two-dimensional (2D) layered nanosheets of violet phosphorene (VP) have great potential in optoelectronic applications owing to their unique electronic, mechanical, and optical properties. Herein, the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of liquid-phase-exfoliated (LPE) VP nanosheets based on a side-polished D-shaped fiber (DSF) were experimentally investigated by a homemade dual-balance detection fiber system at the near-infrared band. A strong saturable absorption response was observed. The corresponding modulation depth and saturation intensity were determined as ∼1.57 and ∼68.1 MW/cm2, respectively. As an application, a VP-DSF saturable absorber mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser was realized for the first time, generating ultrashort pulses with a pulse width of 799 fs. Moreover, the stable soliton molecule mode-locking pulses with a pulse width and time interval of 816 fs and 20.5 ps, respectively, were obtained by adjusting the polarization state in the same laser cavity. The experimental results demonstrated the potential use of VP-based nanomaterials in ultrafast photonics applications. 

Few-Layered Violet Phosphorene Nanostructures as Saturable Absorbers for Stable Soliton Mode-Locking Operations in an Ultrafast Fiber Laser

We report on the application of a 1 μm solid-state passively Q-switched (PQS) laser and 1, 1.5 μm mode-locked (ML) fiber lasers based on ternary chalcogenide Ta2NiS5 saturable absorber (SA), which were successfully fabricated by liquid-phase exfoliation method (LPE). The nonlinear absorption of the Ta2NiS5-SA was characterized by 0.32 GW/cm2 and 0.25 GW/cm2 saturation intensities with 7.3% and 5.1% modulations depths at 1 μm and 1.5 μm, respectively. A PQS solid-state laser operating at 1.0 μm has been realized with the Ta2NiS5-SA. The maximum average output power, shortest pulse width, pulse energy, and pulse peak power from the PQS laser are 0.257 W, 180 ns, 1.265 μJ, and 7 W. Moreover, highly stable femtosecond laser centered at 1.5 μm, and picosecond centered at 1 μm, ML fiber lasers were obtained using the Ta2NiS5-SA. A 70 dB signal-to-noise ML laser with a pulse duration of 781 fs was observed in the telecommunication window, which is better than the duration of the previously reported lasers based on Ta2NiS5. The corresponding maximum single pulse energy and peak power are 0.977 nJ and 1251 W, respectively. The Ta2NiS5-SA fabricated by the LPE method was applied in near-infrared (NIR) ML fiber lasers (evanescent field interactions) and PQS bulk lasers. The results indicate that Ta2NiS5-SA prepared by the LPE method can be applied in a 1 μm bulk PQS laser and improved by the new combination mode (evanescent field interactions) for better output performance of the fiber laser.

Liquid-Phase Exfoliation of Ta2NiS5 and Its Application in Near-Infrared Mode-Locked Fiber Lasers with Evanescent Field Interactions and Passively Q-Switched Bulk Laser

The pronounced quantum confinement effects, outstanding mechanical strength, strong light-matter interactions and reasonably high electric transport properties under atomically thin limit have conjointly established 2D layered materials (2DLMs) as compelling building blocks towards the next generation optoelectronic devices. By virtue of the diverse compositions and crystal structures which bring about abundant physical properties, multielement 2DLMs (ME2DLMs) have become a bran-new research focus of tremendous scientific enthusiasm. Herein, for the first time, this review provides a comprehensive overview on the latest evolution of ME2DLM photodetectors. The crystal structures, synthesis, and physical properties of various experimentally realized ME2DLMs as well as the development in metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors are comprehensively summarized by dividing them into narrow-bandgap ME2DLMs (including Bi2O2X (X = S, Se, Te), EuMTe3(M = Bi, Sb), Nb2XTe4(X = Si, Ge), Ta2NiX5(X = S, Se), M2PdX6(M = Ta, Nb; X = S, Se), PbSnS2), moderate-bandgap ME2DLMs (including CuIn7Se11, CuTaS3, GaGeTe, TlMX2(M = Ga, In; X = S, Se)), wide-bandgap ME2DLMs (including BiOX (X = F, Cl, Br, I), MPX3(M = Fe, Ni, Mn, Cd, Zn; X = S, Se), ABP2X6(A = Cu, Ag; B = In, Bi; X = S, Se), Ga2In4S9), as well as topological ME2DLMs (MIrTe4(M = Ta, Nb)). In the last section, the ongoing challenges standing in the way of further development are underscored and the potential strategies settling them are proposed, which is aimed at navigating the future advancement of this fascinating domain.

Abstract In this article, a high-quality saturable absorber (SA) based on a two-dimensional ternary chalcogenide Ta2NiS5 nanosheet has been successfully fabricated and used in 1- and 1.5-μm spectral regions to generate ultrafast laser pulses. The Ta2NiS5-based SA is fabricated by mechanical exfoliation and sandwiched between two fiber ferrules to form a fiber-compatible SA. On the basis of the twin-detector technique, nonlinear optical absorption of the Ta2NiS5-SA is characterized by 64.7% and 11.95% modulation depths with 1.3 and 0.72 MW/cm2 saturation intensities at 1028 and 1570 nm, respectively. When Ta2NiS5-SA is integrated into Yb- and Er-doped fiber laser cavities, stable self-starting Q-switched pulses are observed. Furthermore, by adjusting the cavity structure and optimizing dispersion in the cavity, we obtain hybrid mode-locking and mode-locking fiber laser operation at 1029 and 1569 nm, respectively. These results validate the performance of Ta2NiS5 as a broadband SA for the generation of ultrafast laser pulses, offering new opportunities of ternary transition-metal dichalcogenide alloys in future photonic devices.
