  • In 2 Se 3 nanosheets with broadband saturable absorption used for near-infrared femtosecond laser mode locking

    by Hui Long, Shunxiang Liu, Qiao Wen, Huiyu Yuan, Chun Yin Tang, Junle Qu, Sainan Ma, Wayesh Qarony, Long Hui Zeng, Yuen Hong Tsang

    Indium selenide (In 2 Se 3 ) has attracted tremendous attention due to its favorable electronic features, broad tunable bandgap, high stability and other attractive properties. However, its further applications for nonlinear optics have not yet been fully explored. In this work, we demonstrate that few-layer α -In 2 Se 3 nanosheets exhibit strong saturable absorption properties over a wide wavelength range covering 800, 1064 and 1550 nm. The few-layer α -In 2 Se 3 nanosheets used for this experiment are fabricated via a simple ultrasonic exfoliation in liquid. Stable ultrafast mode-locking laser pulses are obtained from both ytterbium-doped and erbium-doped fiber laser systems operating at 1064 and 1550 nm, respectively. A pulse duration as short as 215 fs was achieved in the Er-doped fiber laser system. Stable output pulses over 6 h of operation were obtained in both laser systems. The pulse energy and peak power of the laser output pulses were increased by reducing the In 2 Se 3 thickness. These results indicate that α -In 2 Se 3 nanosheets with low layer numbers are promising candidates for broad ultrafast photonics devices, such as optical switchers, Q-switchers and mode lockers.


  • Ultrafast Laser Pulses Generation by Using 2D Layered PtS2as a Saturable Absorber

    by Hui Long, Chun Yin Tang, Ping Kwong Cheng, Xin Yu Wang, Wayesh Qarony, Yuen Hong Tsang

    Platinum disulfide (PtS 2 ) has recently drawn extensive research interest due to its excellent electronic properties, controllable bandgap over a broad range, and high air stability. Herein, we demonstrate the generation of mode-locked ultrafast laser pulses by using PtS 2 nanosheets for the first time, which were fabricated by ultrasonic exfoliation followed by the centrifugation process. The fabricated PtS 2 saturable absorber (SA) was used within two different fiber laser systems. Ultrafast laser pulses with pulse duration of 2.1 ps, 3-db bandwidth of 2.5 nm, and repetition rate of 15.04 MHz were produced from an Er-doped fiber laser system with an operational wavelength of 1.572 μm. Additionally, a mode-locking pulse train with repetition rate of 11.2 MHz was obtained by using the fabricated PtS 2 SA within Yb-doped fiber laser system with operational wavelength of ~1 μm. It is expected that these results will trigger further research with wide potential applications of PtS 2 in the field of nonlinear optics and ultrafast photonics.
