A Review on Rhenium Disulfide: Synthesis Approaches, Optical Properties, and Applications in Pulsed Lasers

“… Spectral coverage for several types of pulsed fiber lasers and solid-state lasers generated by ReS 2 SA along with the corresponding output power. 1, Pr:YLF crystal [ 123 ]: 2, Nd:YAG crystal [ 71 ]: 3, Nd:YAG crystal [ 69 ]: 4, Nd:YAG crystal [ 123 ]: 5, Nd:YAG crystal [ 70 ]: 6, Nd:YAG crystal [ 69 ]: 7, Nd:GdLaNbO 4 crystal [ 127 ]: 8, Nd:YSAG crystal [ 124 ]: 9, Tm:YAP crystal [ 123 ]: 10, Er:YSGG crystal [ 62 ]: 11, Ho,Pr:LLF crystal [ 68 ]: 12, Er:SrF2 crystal [ 125 ]. …”

“…Along with saturable absorption response, investigating the large third-order nonlinear effect of ReS 2 has enabled the generation of harmonic mode-locking lasers with high repetition rates pulses. Most of the reported ReS 2 -based SAs are made of solution using LPE method and deposited on fiber platforms such as the fiber ferrule [63][64][65] and microfiber [66,67] or on substrates such as sapphire [62,[68][69][70] and quartz [71].…”

Investigation of Nonlinear Optical Modulation Characteristics of MXene VCrC for Pulsed Lasers

“…Compared with active Q-switching technology, passive Q-switching (PQS) technology utilizing saturable absorbers (SAs) has advantages such as no additional drive, low cost and compactness [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. In the past years, many novel nanomaterial SAs, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), topological insulators, and black phosphorus [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], have come to our attention due to their excellent optical properties, such as the wide absorption spectrum range and significant saturable absorption capacity [ 11 , 12 ].…”

The energy band structure analysis and 2 μm Q-switched laser application of layered rhenium diselenide

“…Owing to possessing excellent saturable absorption properties and environmental stability, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which have layered structure of the X-M-X form (where M denotes a transition metal and X denotes a chalcogen), have been achieved encouraging results at 2-3 mm laser operations. [14][15][16][17][18][19] Rhenium diselenide (ReSe 2 ), one of the relatively unexplored members of the TMDs family, has attracted a signicant attention because of its unusual electronic and optical behaviors. [20][21][22][23][24] It crystallizes in a distorted octahedral (1T) diamond-chain structure at the triclinic symmetry.…”
