“…Since Li et al [25] observed bright-dark solitons mode locking operation in EDF lasers, several research groups have used FONP to obtain QML or mode-locked output in fiber lasers, as shown in table 1 [22,[26][27][28][29]. Our experiments demonstrate that FONP also exhibits good nonlinear optical characteristics in the 1.3 µm waveband, and has the potential to achieve giant ultrashort pulse output in a 1.3 µm all-solid-state pulsed laser.…”

“…Since Bai et al [12] achieved passively Q-switched output for the first time, most research on using FONP as a SA to achieve pulse output has focused on Qswitched fiber lasers [19][20][21]. After self-made and the optimization of FONP, our team reported for the first time a 1.06 µm all-solid mode-locked pulse output based on a FONP SA, and the Q-switched pulse output based on a FONP hybridized saturated absorber was realized at 1.3 µm [22,23].…”

Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FONP) are made into saturable absorbers and assembled into the resonant cavity, for the first time, and passively Q-switched mode-locked (QML) pulse output is realized in a 1.3 μm all-solid-state laser. When the pump power increases to 8 W, the repetition frequency of the Q-switched pulse increases from 47 kHz to 116 kHz, the pulse width changes from 1.137 μs to 767 ns, and the corresponding single pulse energy is 1.2 μJ. At the same time, the passively QML operation was observed on the oscilloscope, with a pulse repetition frequency of 154.5 MHz and a pulse width of 660 ps. Our experiments demonstrate that FONP exhibits good nonlinear optical characteristics in the 1.3 μm waveband, and has the potential to realize giant ultrashort and multiwavelength tunable pulse output in all-solid-state pulsed lasers.

“…For instance, in 2020, Ma et al observed 463-ps mode-locked pulses from a solid-state laser using FONPs as SAs for the first time with single pulse energy of 6.85 nJ. [249] In spite of FONPs, Mao et al successfully generated Q-switched pulses at 1038, 1557, and 1942 nm, respectively using the same Fe 2 O 3 -PVA as SA in 2018. Moreover, they also obtained Q-switched cylindrical vector beams from a two-mode fiber laser due to the insensitivity of this SA to the polarization state.…”

Nanomaterials with remarkable optical, mechanical, and electrical properties have shed new light on various fields including optoelectronics, sensors, biomedicine, and ultrafast photonics. Particularly, owing to their nonlinear optical properties, fast recovery time, and broadband operation, nanomaterials are well qualified as saturable absorbers in ultrafast pulsed lasers. Over the development of the past decades, various nanomaterials have been developed as saturable absorbers, which contribute to a diversity of lasers with excellent performance. Therefore, it is important for researchers to provide a landmark of the applications of nanomaterials in ultrafast photonics concerning cutting‐edge development. Herein, the integration and applications of nanomaterials in ultrafast photonics are reviewed. First, end‐face, lateral, as well as photonic crystal fibers padding integration methods are introduced along with their process and characteristics. Then the ultrafast applications of nanomaterials including carbon‐based (carbon nanotubes and graphene), typical 2D (topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes), and metal‐based nanomaterials (gold, silver, copper, and metal oxides) are summarized. Major parameters of ultrafast lasers and features of each nanomaterial are presented simultaneously. Finally, the perspectives of nanomaterials for further development in ultrafast photonics are discussed.

“…[211] Besides, Chen et al and Cheng et al observed Q-switched mode-locked phenomena in Yb-and Er-doped fiber laser by increasing the pump power and adjusting the state of PC, in which the value of FONPs for QM fiber laser was exhibited. [212,213] Ma et al achieved mode-locked pulse in a 1064-nm solid-state laser using FONPs-based SA, where the maximum average output power of 856 mW with pulse energy of 6.85 nJ was obtained at the pump power of 11 W. [109] In 2021, Li et al reported on the broadband nonlinear properties of Fe 3 O 4 in triple-wavelength bands, where passive Q-switched pulses operated at 1039, 1560, and 1982 nm were achieved, respectively. [214] Figure 11a shows the TEM and SEM images of FONPs with an average diameter of 20 nm on 100-and 200-nm scales.…”

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.
