“…Xu et al prepared PbS-doped ring-core fiber by improved chemical vapor deposition method, and proposed an orbital angular momentum (OAM) optical amplifier based on ring core PbS doped fiber. The experiment confirms that the air-hole PbS-doped ring-core fiber can support the OAM |l| 1 modes (l is eigenvalue) [2]. The optical limiting properties of reduced graphene oxide have been restricted to visible light.…”

Ultrafast photonics is widely used in many fields, including optical fiber communication, femtosecond laser imaging, national defense military, biomedicine and mechanical processing. The wide application of graphene has successfully opened a new era of lowdimensional materials. Low-dimensional materials with atomic layer thickness can not only exist stably, but also have many unique characteristics. With the extensive research of the nonlinear optical properties of low-dimensional materials, a series of potential applications of lowdimensional materials as saturable absorbers (SAs) in optical devices have been demonstrated and realized.This issue of "ultrafast photonics of low-dimensional materials" covers some of the latest progress and achievements in the application of low-dimensional materials in ultrafast photonics. In six original research articles and one review, the theoretical and experimental studies of low dimensional materials related to optics, photonics and optoelectronics are introduced in detail.Zhang et al. realized passive Q-switched mode-locked operation in Tm, Ho: CaYAlO4 bulk laser for the first time using double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) as SAs. The experimental results show that DWCNT-SAs can be used as a fast starting element for passively Q-switched mode-locked solid state laser of 2 μm band [1]. Xu et al. prepared PbS-doped ring-core fiber by improved chemical vapor deposition method, and proposed an orbital angular momentum (OAM) optical amplifier based on ring core PbS doped fiber. The experiment confirms that the air-hole PbS-doped ring-core fiber can support the OAM |l| 1 modes (l is eigenvalue) [2]. The optical limiting properties of reduced graphene oxide have been restricted to visible light. Li et al. fixed SnSe nanoflakes on the surface of reduced graphene oxide. It was found that the reduced graphene-oxide and a SnSe/ graphene-oxide nanohybrid show a broader reverse saturable absorption and an enhanced nonlinear optical response [3]. He et al. demonstrated a passively mode-locked all polarization maintaining Er 3+ -doped fiber laser based on a non-linear amplifying loop mirror. A stable optical frequency comb with tunable wavelength is realized successfully. By adjusting the pump power, the central wavelength can be changed from 950 to 1,080 nm and from 1,650 to 2080 nm [4]. Chen et al. successfully stripped NbSe 2 thin layer by mechanical exfoliation and deposited NbSe 2 thin layer on D-type fiber as SAs. A stable dissipative soliton with a pulse duration of 174 ps is produced by coupling saturable absorber into Yb 3+ -doped fiber laser [5]. Wei et al. summarized the structural, photoelectric and saturable absorption properties of two-dimensional materials. The working principle of wavelength tunable single-frequency fiber laser based on two-dimensional material have been discussed. On this basis, the latest research progress of wavelength tunable singlefrequency fiber lasers and the future development prospect of this field is reviewed [6]. Zhang et al.

Vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have increasingly attracted attention in the field of optical communication. However, transmission is still an issue due to transmission loss, especially in optical fibers. In this work, we proposed, designed, and fabricated micro spiral phase plates (SPPs) directly on an end facet of a piece of PbSe-doped ring-core fiber (RCF) through two-photon polymerization, realizing the integration of OAM beam generation, transmission, and amplification. The prepared RCF comprises a double-clad structure with a core-clad refractive index difference of 2.2% and the fluorescence range is 1150 nm–1700 nm. The intensity distribution of the OAM beam and the spiral interference fringes were obtained, which indicated that the OAM mode () was generated and transmitted directly within the fiber. The small-signal amplification of four OAM modes was accomplished at 1550 nm under a pump power of 634 mW. The on–off gain is >13.2 dB for all modes and the differential mode gain (DMG) is <1.7 dB. The SPP-carrying RCF structure demonstrates the integration of generation, transmission, and amplification of higher-order OAM modes in all-fiber systems.
