“…The aforementioned reports, along with other works, [24][25][26] all indicate clearly the signicant potential that TMOs based SAs have in the generation of pulsed outputs. Of the many TMOs explored for this application, nickel oxide (NiO) is seen to be a prime candidate for the development of SAs capable of generating Q-switched outputs.…”

“…[218] In 2017, Aziz et al reported on Q-switched pulses in an EDFL enabled by ZnO-PVA film. [219] The pulse width and pulse energy at the repetition rate of 61.43 kHz were 7 μs and 154.6 nJ, respectively. The above results proved that ZnO is a promising SA candidate for ultrafast lasers, but mode-locked pulses had not been investigated.…”

Nanomaterials have demonstrated excellent mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties in various fields, including 1D carbon nanotubes, as well as 2D materials starting from graphene. Metal-based nanomaterials, mainly divided into metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, also gradually come into the sight of ultrafast photonics applications due to the outstanding optical properties. The optical properties of metal nanoparticles can be enhanced by the interaction between conduction electrons with electric fields that is called surface plasmon resonance. As for metal oxide nanoparticles, optical properties are closely related to bandgap structures. When it comes to transition metal oxides, other phenomena also play important roles in optical absorption such as spin inversion and excitons of iron. Moreover, preparation methods of materials are also crucial for their properties and further applications. Therefore, in this review, commonly used physical and chemical fabrication methods for metal-based nanomaterials are first introduced. Then the optical properties of typical metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are discussed specifically. In addition, the applications of metal-based nanomaterials in ultrafast lasers based on mode-locked and Q-switched techniques are also summarized. Finally, a summary and outlook toward the synthesis, optical properties, and applications in ultrafast photonics of metal-based nanomaterials are presented.

“…Short-pulsed, all-fiber lasers have been widely used in various fields such as material processing, medical diagnosis, industrial processing, light detection, and ranging (LIDAR, also LADER), optical fiber communication, and spectroscopy [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The emergence and development of Q-switching technology is an important breakthrough in the history of laser development [ 4 ]. It compresses the laser energy into extremely narrow pulses for emission, so that the peak power of the light source can be increased by several orders of magnitude.…”

A saturable absorber (SA) based on niobium diselenide (NbSe2), which is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) in the VB group, is fabricated by the optically driven deposition method, and the related nonlinear optical properties are characterized. The modulation depth, saturable intensity, and nonsaturable loss of the as-prepared NbSe2 nanosheet-based SA are measured to be 16.2%, 0.76 MW/cm2, and 14%, respectively. By using the as-fabricated NbSe2 SA, a highly stable, passively Q-switched, erbium-doped, all-fiber laser is realized. The obtained shortest pulse width is 1.49 μs, with a pulse energy of 48.33 nJ at a center wavelength of 1560.38 nm. As far as we know, this is the shortest pulse duration ever obtained by an NbSe2 SA in a Q-switched fiber laser.
