Recently, 2D materials are in great demand for various applications such as optical devices, supercapacitors, sensors, and biomedicine. MXenes as a kind of novel 2D material have attracted considerable research interest due to their outstanding mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties. Especially, the excellent nonlinear optical response enables them to be potential candidates for the applications in ultrafast photonics. Here, a review of MXenes synthesis, optical properties, and applications in ultrafast lasers is presented. First, aqueous acid etching and chemical vapor deposition methods for preparing MXenes are introduced, in which the storage stability and challenges of the existing synthesis techniques are also discussed. Then, the optical properties of MXenes are discussed specifically, including plasmonic properties, optical detection, photothermal effects, and ultrafast dynamics. Furthermore, the typical ultrafast pulsed lasers enabled by MXene-based saturable absorbers operated at different wavelength regions are summarized. Finally, a summary and outlook on the development of MXenes is presented in the perspectives section.

Exploring advanced saturable absorber (SA) materials that exhibit exceptional performance for achieving Q-switching and mode-locking operations remains a vibrant area of research in the field of fiber lasers. The remarkable optical nonlinearity, coupled with high thermal and chemical stability of MAX phase materials, positions them as promising candidates for high-performance SAs. In this study, we demonstrated the potential of Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX phase as an effective material for Q-switched and mode-locked fiber laser applications. The Ti 3 AlC 2 film was synthesized through a straightforward and cost-effective casting method employing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a host material. The SA was cleverly constructed from the film, utilizing a sandwichstructured fiber-ferrule platform, and seamlessly integrated into an Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) ring cavity. Initially, a stable Q-switched laser was realized at a center wavelength of 1531 nm. The repetition rate exhibited a commendable increase from 35.0 to 50.8 kHz, and the pulse width reduced from 6.58 to 3.40 µs as the pump power was adjusted within the range of 25.98 to 58.29 mW. Notably, the maximum output power of 2.49 mW and a pulse energy of 49.02 nJ were recorded at a pump power of 58.29 mW. Subsequently, an additional 200 m long single-mode fiber was added into a similar laser cavity, leading to the generation of a stable modelocked laser at a threshold pump power of 81.37 mW, operating at a central wavelength of 1558.96 nm. The observed stable repetition rate of 969.3 kHz, coupled with a pulse duration of 300 ns, demonstrated robust performance as the pump power increased from 81.37 to 113.68 mW. These findings highlight the exceptional performance of Ti 3 AlC 2 SA for both Q-switching and mode-locking applications. The versatility of these lasers makes them valuable for diverse applications, including micromachining of materials, frequency comb generation, and remote sensing.
