“…As discussed earlier in Section 18.7.2, the ambient is thought to be the source of the p-type dopant [109]. Using multilayer graphene transferred from C-face samples to an optical element, Currie demonstrated promising performance of the first saturable absorber laser operation at 2 mm using EG [117]. It was concluded that Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene inclusions were present, as these would give rise to the linear B behavior [116].…”

Abstract. We investigate the generation of a chirped pulse in a single-mode, ring-cavity, erbium-doped fiber laser employing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a saturable absorber (SA). The pulse propagation is simulated using analytical methods to understand and quantify the role of multiple SA properties, particularly in the propagation dynamics of the laser pulse. The soliton solution is obtained on the basis of nonlinear effects, such as gain dispersion, second anomalous group-velocity dispersion, self-phase modulation, and two-photon absorption for a generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The influences of the SA parameter in the range from 0.1 to 0.4 on the chirp, power, and width of the soliton are calculated. A stable, passively mode-locked fiber laser using CNTs as an SA is modeled. In addition, the power, width, chirp, and phase of the soliton pulses can be tuned by choosing suitable SA parameters.

In recent years, a variety of 2‐dimensional (2D) materials including graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, and black phosphorus have been utilized in photonics and optoelectronics applications. Since the mid‐infrared (MIR) region has a significant role in various fields, rapid progress has been made on photonics and optoelectronics applications using 2D materials. Herein, the progress in the photonics devices that exploit the unique properties of 2D materials for a range of MIR applications is summarized, focusing on ultrafast light generation, MIR light modulation, and photodetection. By taking advantage of ultrafast light response, broadband absorption, and high carrier mobility of 2D materials, femtosecond lasers, broadband optical modulators, and high‐responsivity photodetectors are achieved. Some perspectives on 2D material‐based MIR photonics are highlighted. Due to their MIR bandgaps, small size, high carrier mobility, and easy integration, 2D materials are appealing for MIR photonics applications. Moreover, the availability of an increasingly broad library of 2D materials with variable electronic and optical properties, and the ability to be thinned and restacked into functional and complex assembled structures, enable the development of a highly integrated MIR photonic chip, which will make information technology greener, faster, and lower in energy consumption.
