“…Therefore, in this fabrication, PVA solution was used as the host polymer to hold the Ag particles together and create a usable SA thin film [30]. This process was broken down into three key steps: making the PVA solution, making the Ag solution, and combining the two [31]. Chemical reduction techniques were used to create the colloidal Ag nanoparticles [32].…”

This research examines the operation of a passively Q-switched erbium-doped all-fibre laser (EDFL) using a silver (Ag) based saturable absorber (SA) by comparing the output characteristics of the Q-switched laser with those of continuous wave all-fibre lasers. A study was done on how the laser's Q-factor is modified and affects the rate at which pulses are repeated, as well as their output power, width, and energy. The results showed that high-energy Q-switched pulses were successfully generated at the essential 1.5 µm wavelength within the pump power range of 83.6 mW to 171.7 mW, with repetition rates ranging from 33.46 kHz to 77.96 kHz. The EDFL generated a pulse with a width of 4.033 µs and an energy of 2.82 nJ at a pump power of 171.7 mW. The results indicate that Ag may potentially be a good SA for pulse production in the 1.5 µm wavelength area as well as for use in a wide range of applications.

“…31,36 When deposited as a conductive coating layer on a stretchable polymer substrate, the metal nanoparticles experienced the stress-induced nanoparticle reorganization upon deformation, maintaining high electrical conductivity. 37 Conventional methods to synthesize AgNPs include electrical arc discharge, [38][39][40] photoreduction, 41,42 and chemical reduction, [43][44][45][46] etc. Among them, the chemical reduction method is the most common way in which silver nitrate generally is used as the metal precursor, and the reducing agents of glucose, trisodium citrate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and hydrazine hydrate are selected.…”

Nanomaterials with remarkable optical, mechanical, and electrical properties have shed new light on various fields including optoelectronics, sensors, biomedicine, and ultrafast photonics. Particularly, owing to their nonlinear optical properties, fast recovery time, and broadband operation, nanomaterials are well qualified as saturable absorbers in ultrafast pulsed lasers. Over the development of the past decades, various nanomaterials have been developed as saturable absorbers, which contribute to a diversity of lasers with excellent performance. Therefore, it is important for researchers to provide a landmark of the applications of nanomaterials in ultrafast photonics concerning cutting‐edge development. Herein, the integration and applications of nanomaterials in ultrafast photonics are reviewed. First, end‐face, lateral, as well as photonic crystal fibers padding integration methods are introduced along with their process and characteristics. Then the ultrafast applications of nanomaterials including carbon‐based (carbon nanotubes and graphene), typical 2D (topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes), and metal‐based nanomaterials (gold, silver, copper, and metal oxides) are summarized. Major parameters of ultrafast lasers and features of each nanomaterial are presented simultaneously. Finally, the perspectives of nanomaterials for further development in ultrafast photonics are discussed.
