“…However, the development of SESAM is limited by its low damage threshold, high cost, and complex preparation process [2]. Subsequently, two-dimensional (2D) material such as graphene [3], topological insulators (TIs) [4,5], transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) [6][7][8][9], black phosphorus (BP) [10][11][12], MXene [13][14][15], perovskite [16], and other 2D materials are applied to the field of ultrafast lasers. Graphene has broadband optical modulation properties, but low absorption efficiency and poor modulation depth at 2 µm [17].…”

All-solid-state Tm lasers have a wider wavelength range and higher output power compared to other types of lasers. In this work, we demonstrate an all-solid-state, high repetition, Tm:YAP laser Q-switched by a graphdiyne (GDY) saturable absorber. The high-quality optical nonlinear material GDY, synthesized by a cross-coupling method, exhibits a strong nonlinear optical response. The application of GDY as a saturable absorber in the passively Q-switched (PQS) Tm:YAP of an all-solid-state laser has been realized with the shortest pulse duration of ~785 ns and repetition frequency of ~199.6 kHz at a central wavelength of 1985.8 nm. This represents the shortest pulse duration and the highest repetition frequency achieved from GDY in a solid-state Tm laser to date. Our work demonstrates the remarkable nonlinear optical properties of GDY, which holds promising potential in the field of optoelectronics.

Monolayer MoS 2 film on quartz was fabricated by a home-made three-temperature zone chemical vapor deposition method. The photo, AFM image, Raman spectroscopy and HRTEM image showed that high quality as-grown MoS 2 film completely covered the whole quartz substrate of a few cm 2 . A Nd:YVO 4 laser with mode-locking operation was obtained by using the monolayer MoS 2 on quartz as the saturable absorber (SA). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on large-area growth of high quality monolayer MoS 2 film on transparent quartz substrate, and the first time that the CVD MoS 2 SA was used in mode-locked solid state lasers. Because of the large area, high transmission, low non-saturable loss and high optical damage threshold of this material, it is very suitable for application in mode-locked solid state lasers.

Emerging Low‐Dimensional Materials for Nonlinear Optics and Ultrafast Photonics

Low-dimensional (LD) materials demonstrate intriguing optical properties, which lead to applications in diverse fields, such as photonics, biomedicine and energy. Due to modulation of electronic structure by the reduced structural dimensionality, LD versions of metal, semiconductor and topological insulators (TIs) at the same time bear distinct nonlinear optical (NLO) properties as compared with their bulk counterparts. Their interaction with short pulse laser excitation exhibits a strong nonlinear character manifested by NLO absorption, giving rise to optical limiting or saturated absorption associated with excited state absorption and Pauli blocking in different materials. In particular, the saturable absorption of these emerging LD materials including two-dimensional semiconductors as well as colloidal TI nanoparticles has recently been utilized for Q-switching and mode-locking ultra-short pulse generation across the visible, near infrared and middle infrared wavelength regions. Beside the large operation bandwidth, these ultrafast photonics applications are especially benefit from the high recovery rate as well as the facile processibility of these LD materials. The prominent NLO response of these LD materials have also provided new avenues for the development of novel NLO and photonics devices for all-optical control as well as optical circuits beyond ultrafast lasers.
