“…[38,39] Recently, the family of MXenes and MAX-phases has been demonstrated to perform well as a SA to achieve ultra-fast fiber lasers. [40][41][42][43][44][45] A few other material categories have also been explored to produce Q-switched and mode-locked lasers, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, metals, transparent conductive oxides and organic materials. [8,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] Furthermore, ternary transition metal dichalcogenides (TTMDs) have also recently gained the interest of researchers for ultrafast photonics.…”

In this work, we have demonstrated antimonene as a saturable absorber to generate ultrafast mode-locked and Q-switched laser at a 2-micron wavelength region. The two antimonene-based SAs were prepared and inserted separately in a thulium-holmium doped fiber laser (THDFL) to produce the pulsed lasers. Antimonene was coated onto the tapered fiber to generate soliton mode-locked pulses and in thin-film form for the generation of Q-switched pulses. The modelocking was stable within the pump power of 267 to 511 mW, and the laser operated at the center wavelength of 1897.4 nm. The mode-locked laser had a pulse width of 1.3 ps and a repetition rate of 12.6 MHz, with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 64 dB. The Q-switched laser operation was stable at the wavelength of 1890.1 nm within the pump power of 312 to 381 mW. With the increase in pump power from 312 mW to 381 mW, the repetition rate increased to a maximum of 56.63 kHz and the pulse width decreased to a minimum value of 2.85 μs. A wide range tunability of Q-switched laser was also realized within the wavelength of 1882 to 1936 nm.

“…On the other hand, BP is a hydrophilic material that oxidizes quickly under standard laboratory conditions [23]. Therefore, there is a need to explore different 2D nanomaterials, for example, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), ternary TMDs (TTMDs), topological insulators (TIs), MXenes, and MAX phase [11,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Chai et al [36] have reported a fewlayer bismuthene as a SA in a ytterbium-doped fiber laser to generate short pulses of 30.25 ps duration.…”

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently been explored as a potential for saturable absorbers (SA) due to their remarkable optoelectronic and nonlinear optical properties. In this work, we have experimentally reported the 2D boron carbon oxynitride (BCNO) as a potential mode-locker in erbium-(EDFL) and thulium-doped fiber lasers (TDFL) for the first time. The BCNO-coated arc-shaped fiber was explored as a novel optical loss modulator and exhibited a modulation depth of 8.2 % and 5 % at 1.5 µm and 2 µm, respectively. The mode-locked laser was then achieved by using BCNO-coated arc-shaped fiber in EDFL having a pulse width, repetition rate, and center wavelength of 1.56 ps, 19.14 MHz, and 1562.2 nm, respectively. Mode-locked pulses of 1.456 ps duration were achieved by incorporating BCNO-coated arc-shaped fiber in TDFL, operated at center wavelength, repetition rate, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 1944 nm, 13 MHz, and 70.3 dB, respectively. These results prove BCNO to be a promising low-cost 2D material to be further explored for laser-related applications.

“…Another Q-switched and mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser has been reported using gadolinium oxide-based passive SA, although it requires cavity length adjustment in order to obtain stable phase-locked lasing [ 10 ]. Some SAs have also been reported to produce both Q-switched and mode-locked lasers using this method, but with significantly reduced frequency [ 7 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. This work, interestingly, will report on the sole use of a passive SA inside a simpler cavity device, with no involvement of any polarization controller or cavity adjustment to produce a Q-switched and mode-locked laser simultaneously.…”

We investigate the dynamics of high energy dual regime unidirectional Erbium-doped fiber laser in ring cavity, which is passively Q-switched and mode-locked through the use of an environmentally friendly graphene filament–chitin film-based saturable absorber. The graphene–chitin passive saturable absorber allows the option for different operating regimes of the laser by simple adjustment of the input pump power, yielding, simultaneously, highly stable and high energy Q-switched pulses at 82.08 nJ and 1.08 ps mode-locked pulses. The finding can have applications in a multitude of fields due to its versatility and the regime of operation that is on demand.
