“…Material fabrication techniques exhibited consistent progress in being more controllable such as CVD [ 127 ] and low-cost fabrication such as mechanical exfoliation [ 126 ]. As depicted in Figure 17 , the operation bands of ReS 2 -based SA have been employed successfully for various wavelength regions ranging from visible to mid-infrared (0.64–3 μm) in fiber-based as well as solid state laser systems [ 61 , 68 , 71 , 123 , 128 ] leading to several optical applications.…”

“…Saturable absorbers having low optical damage threshold can lead to collapse of pulsed operation and instead of that, the laser engages in CW operation, particularly when the material becomes deposited on the fiber connector's tip, where the laser connects directly with the material. For instance, pump power above 330 mW caused strong signal jittering to dominate and obliterate the Q-switched pulses [61]; nonetheless, the Q-switched pulses could be obtained again just by reducing the pump power. This is because of the over-saturation of ReS 2 -SA instead of thermal damage [138,139].…”

“…With regards to fiber-based laser system, Xu et al and B. Lu et al employed Erbium and Ytterbium-doped fibers in order to produce Q-switched laser pulses at 1 μm and 1.5 μm waveband with an average output power of 2.48 mW and 3.2 mW [ 61 , 126 ], respectively. In contrast to fiber lasers, solid-state pulsed lasers offer the benefits of low undesirable nonlinear impacts as well as a wider mode area, which make them optimum for applications that need high power sources [ 35 ].…”

“…However, this production method is complex and expensive. Later, much simpler and low-cost methods were used to synthesize ReS 2 such as mechanical exfoliation (ME) [ 61 ] and liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) [ 62 ]. Along with saturable absorption response, investigating the large third-order nonlinear effect of ReS 2 has enabled the generation of harmonic mode-locking lasers with high repetition rates pulses.…”

Rhenium Disulfide (ReS2) has evolved as a novel 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material which has promising applications in optoelectronics and photonics because of its distinctive anisotropic optical properties. Saturable absorption property of ReS2 has been utilized to fabricate saturable absorber (SA) devices to generate short pulses in lasers systems. The results were outstanding, including high-repetition-rate pulses, large modulation depth, multi-wavelength pulses, broadband operation and low saturation intensity. In this review, we emphasize on formulating SAs based on ReS2 to produce pulsed lasers in the visible, near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelength regions with pulse durations down to femtosecond using mode-locking or Q-switching technique. We outline ReS2 synthesis techniques and integration platforms concerning solid-state and fiber-type lasers. We discuss the laser performance based on SAs attributes. Lastly, we draw conclusions and discuss challenges and future directions that will help to advance the domain of ultrafast photonic technology.

The explosive success of graphene opens a new era of ultrathin 2D materials. It has been realized that the van der Waals layered materials with atomic and less atomic thickness can not only exist stably, but also exhibit unique and technically useful properties including small size effect, surface effect, macro quantum tunnel effect, and quantum effect. With the extensive research and revealing of the basic optical properties and new photophysical properties of 2D materials, a series of potential applications in optical devices have been continuously demonstrated and realized, which immediately roused an upsurge of study in the academic circle. Therefore, the application of 2D materials as broadband, efficient, convenient, and versatile saturable absorbers in ultrafast lasers is a potential and promising field. Herein, the main preparation methods of 2D materials are reviewed and technical guidelines for identifying and characterizing layered 2D materials are provided. After investigating the characteristics of 2D materials thoroughly in nonlinear optics, their performances in fiber lasers are comprehensively summarized according to the types of materials.
