“…As a vigorous method to achieve Q-switched or mode-locked operation, various low-dimensional SA materials are utilized as modulating devices to generate the laser pulses. Common materials are graphene [17,18], semiconductor saturable absorption mirrors (SESAMs) [19,20], carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [21,22], transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) [23,24], topological insulators (TIs) [25], black phosphorus (BP) [26], Mxenes [27], Xenes [28], phosphorene [29,30], ferromagnetic insulators (FIs) [31,32], silicene [33,34], and tellurene [35]. Mid-Infrared PQS and mode-locked fiber lasers at 2-3 μm wavelength range were demonstrated by incorporating CNT/SESAM/Selenide-nanoflowers SAs in the cavity [14,36,37].…”

“…Mode-locked fiber lasers—which offer ultra-short pulses, excellent beam quality, convenient thermal management, and high optical–optical conversion efficiency—are widely applied in laser microprocessing, optical nonlinear generation, and laser-based biomedicine [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. To date, the use of rare-earth (RE) doping fibers is the conventional scheme to construct a mode-locked fiber laser; usually, a Yb-doped fiber is used to emit a wavelength of around 1 μm, an Er-doped fiber is used to generate a wavelength of about 1.5 μm, and a Tm-doped fiber is used to emit approximately 2 μm wavelengths [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Herein, a PbSe quantum dot-doped-mode-locked fiber laser is experimentally demonstrated. A PbSe quantum dot-doped fiber is prepared using a melting method and induced as a gain medium in our mode-locked fiber laser. By increasing the pump power, a stable pulse train is obtained with a pulse duration of 36 ps, a pulse repetition rate of 4.5 MHz, an average laser power of 9.8 mW, and a central wavelength of 1214.5 nm. The pulse duration can be changed by adjusting the PC or increasing the pump power. The maximum laser power obtained was 42.7 mW under the pump power of 800 mW. Our results prove that a quantum dot-doped-mode-locked fiber laser is achievable, which provides a new scheme to solve wavelength problem of rare-earth-doped mode-locked fiber lasers.

As one of the 1D nanomaterials, Se nanochains have been widely used in photoelectric devices, such as photodetectors, battery devices, and optical sensors due to their excellent photoelectric properties. Among them, ultrafast photonics has attracted much attention due to its wide applications; for instance, environmental monitoring, material processing, biomedical imaging, nonlinear optical generation, and free‐space optical communication. Herein, Se nanochains are fabricated by trapping Se species in the circular 1D channel of AlPO4‐5 (AFI) crystal, and the characteristics of Se@AFI are systemically investigated. In addition, the AFI single crystal loaded with Se nanochains in the channel is successfully prepared as a saturable absorber in the fiber laser. The mode‐locking pulse at 1.5 and 1 μm with the repetition rate of 13.16 and 14.74 MHz can be obtained by integrating the Se@AFI composite material in the cavity. The signal‐to‐noise ratios are both over 70 dB, suggesting the high operational stability of the pulses. These results indicate that Se@AFI has good potential as saturable absorber material with a broad wavelength range for ultrafast pulsed fiber lasers. Our results will also provide a new idea for designing air‐stable ultrafast photonic devices and other composite materials in various fields.
