“…By increasing the ReS 2 thickness, the modulation depth can be increased. B. Lu et al attained up to 44% modulation depth by piling up 30 layers (21 nm) of ReS 2 [ 126 ], though this also increases the thresholds of saturation intensity. This is due to the fact that thicker films have higher density of localized defective states on the grain edge and more photons are trapped [ 67 , 137 ].…”

“…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 ].…”

“…Moreover, a Q-switched Nd-doped crystal laser was reported by Han et al close to ReS 2 bandgap at 950 nm [71]. Various schematic setups are demonstrated in Figure 15 in order to generate Q-switched lasers based on ReS 2 -SA as well as their output characteristics at 1047 nm, 1064 nm and 1557.3 nm [63,69,126].

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.
