“…The laser with 2 mm long Sb 2 Te 3 absorber emitted 5.9 ps pulses with 4 mW of average output power [ 85 ]. In 2022, Lee et al used Sb 2 Te 3 as an SA to obtain stable mode-locked pulses in a Tm-Ho-doped fiber laser [ 86 ]. The ultrafast laser in their work had a repetition rate of 10.88 MHz and pulse width of 1.32 ps with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value of about 61.21 dB.…”

Pulsed fiber lasers, with high peak power and narrow pulse widths, have been proven to be an important tool for a variety of fields of application. In this work, frontier and hot topics in pulsed fiber lasers were analyzed with 11,064 articles. Benefitting from the scientometric analysis capabilities of CiteSpace, the analysis found that passively mode-locked fiber lasers with saturable absorbers (SAs) based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have become a hot research topic in the field of pulsed fiber lasers due to the advantages of self-starting operation, high stability, and good compatibility. The excellent nonlinear optical properties exhibited by 2D materials at nanometer-scale thicknesses have become a particularly popular research topic; the research has paved the way for exploring its wider applications. We summarize the performance of several typical 2D materials in ultrafast fiber lasers, such as graphene, topological insulators (TIs), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and black phosphorus (BP). Meanwhile, we review and analyze the direction of the development of 2D SAs for ultrafast fiber lasers.

“…Xu et al [44] used a high modulation depth of 88% Bi 2 Se 3 to generate mode-locked soliton with a pulse width of 579 fs at 1500 nm. Ahmad et al [45] used Sb 2 Te 3 SA to generate pulsing at the 2 um region. Another interesting finding was demonstrated using Sb 2 Te 3 deposited on a microfiber to produce bound soliton with harmonic mode-locking [46].…”

Single and Bunch Soliton Generation in Optical Fiber Lasers Using Bismuth Selenide Topological Insulator Saturable Absorber

et al. 2023

In this work, we present the generation of two distinct types of soliton pulses using a Bismuth Selenide (Bi2Se3) saturable absorber (SA) synthesized in our laboratory. The soliton pulses were generated in two different laser cavity configurations, resulting in two types of solitons: a soliton pulse with Kelly sidebands and a bunched soliton pulse with peak-dip sidebands. Both solitons operated at the fundamental repetition rate—23.3 MHz (for the soliton with Kelly sidebands) and 13 MHz (for the bunched soliton with peak-dip sidebands). We observed that the accumulation of nonlinear phase shift from the added single mode fiber (SMF) split the single soliton pulse into 44 pulses in a bunched oscillation envelope. At the same time, peak-dip sidebands were imposed on the bunched soliton spectrum due to constructive and destructive interferences between soliton pulse and dispersive waves. The measured pulse width for both solitons were 0.63 ps (for the soliton with Kelly sidebands) and 1.52 ps (for the bunched soliton with peak-dip sidebands), respectively. Our results demonstrate the potential of Bi2Se3 SAs in generating different types of soliton pulses, which could have potential applications in various areas of optical communication and spectroscopy.

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The realization of ultrashort pulse lasers can be divided into active mode-locking and passive mode-locking. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] The former periodically modulates the phase or amplitude of the optical field by adding a modulator in the resonant cavity. When increasing the complexity of the resonant cavity and pulse broadening, it is difficult to generate stable ultrashort pulse.…”

“…[30] the SNR was also im-proved by 18.5% when the pulse duration was shortened by 43%. Overall, although the mode-locked threshold based on the Bi2Te3 SA fiber laser is slightly higher than that of the Bi2Se3 SA, it is still at a relatively low level, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] which can be reduced to < 50 mW. [27] Then we conducted a theoretical analysis on the principle of good output per-formance of the Bi2Te3 SA fiber laser.…”

Fiber laser is a fundamental component of laser systems and is of great significance for the development of laser technology. Its pulse output can be divided into Q-switched and mode-locked. Achieving ultrashort pulse with narrower pulse duration and higher power is the focus of current research on mode-locked lasers. As an important component of fiber laser systems, saturable absorber (SA) can modulate losses in the optical cavity and generate pulses, enabling the laser system to achieve pulse output under long-term normal operating conditions better. Therefore, expanding the selection range of materials with better saturable absorption properties to improve the quality of pulse output is an important topic in current research. In this paper, the second generation topological insulator Bi2Te3 single crystal is prepared, and a ring fiber laser system is built with the Bi2Te3 SA. The mode-locked pulse with a pulse duration of 288 fs and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 80.202 dB is realized. This result verifies that Bi2Te3, as a member of topological insulator, has good saturable absorption characteristics, and has broad prospects for the application research in lasers.
