In recent years, 2D layered materials, including graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, MXenes, graphitic carbon nitride, and metal‐organic frameworks, have attracted considerable interest due to their potential applications in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and energy. Their rise in the field of nonlinear photonics began around 2009 and has become an important research direction. Here, the synthesis techniques, nonlinear optical properties, integration strategies, and device applications of layered materials are reviewed. In terms of nonlinear optical properties, the focus is on saturable absorption and Kerr nonlinearity. On this basis, their applications in various pulsed lasers, including fiber lasers, solid‐state lasers, waveguide lasers, and related nonlinear optical phenomenon, are summarized. In addition, novel optical devices using layered materials, such as optical modulators, optical polarizers, optical switchers, and even all‐optical device, are also involved. It is believed that the development of 2D layered materials in the field of photonics will continue to deepen, thus laying a good foundation for its practical application.

A tunable L-band dissipative soliton (DS) fiber laser with nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) playing the roles of both a saturable absorber (SA) and a tunable filter has been demonstrated experimentally and numerically. By appropriate adjustment of the states of the polarization controllers (PCs) and the pump power, DSs with continuously tunable wavelengths have been observed over the wavelength range from 1583.0 to 1602.4 nm with a 3-dB spectral bandwidth of around 20 nm and from 1581.9 nm to 1602.6 nm with a 3-dB spectral bandwidth of around 4 nm. In addition, we have observed that by increasing the pump power, the 3-dB spectral bandwidth of the DS could be increased without pulse breaking. Numerical results for the characteristics of the DSs are in accord with the experimental data.

“…L-band MLFLs can widen the transmission capacity of optical communications and also find various applications in spectroscopy, biomedical diagnostics and surgery [17][18][19]. It has been known that the emission wavelength of lasers depends on the linear cavity loss, fiber length and dopant concentration [20,21].…”

“…Sanchez's group reported the mode-locking operation at 1.6 μm in an Er-doped fiber laser by controlling the linear cavity loss [18]. They also built a 1.6 μm MLFL based on graphene saturable absorber (SA) [17]. However, these lasers are running in soliton regime, and thus the pulse duration and energy are limited.…”

We present an L-band dissipative soliton (DS) fiber laser, which can deliver 87.5 fs pulses at 1.6 μm band. Numerical simulations are used to confirm the DS generation, and prove the pivotal component of the invisible filter with proper bandwidth in the formation of DS pulses. Such a robust, compact ultrafast laser source with higher pulse energy is hence an excellent seed source for L-band amplifiers. The mechanism revealed in the simulations is helpful to develop a unified theory for understanding various mode-locking regimes in normal dispersion lasers.
