“…Additionally, researchers from other groups also demonstrated the 2 µm mode‐locked lasers based on WS 2 SA and BP SA, respectively, as shown in Figure d–i. Up to now, 2 µm mode‐locked fiber lasers have been achieved with layered materials, such as graphene, Bi 2 Te 3 , MoS 2 , WS 2 , WTe 2 , WSe 2 , MoTe 2 , and BP, respectively. Among them, several important works should be emphasized, such as the maximum pulse energy of 35.2 nJ, the repetition rate of 58.87 MHz, and the minimum pulse width of 190 fs …”

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 different graphene-based mode-locked TDF laser-operating at 1.94 µm in a large anomalous dispersion regime with pulse duration of 3.6 ps and energy of 0.4 nJ was also reported [8]. Recently, Fu et al have reported a passively mode-locked Tm-Ho-codoped fiber laser based on graphene operating with the highest reported pulse energy of up to 35 nJ at 1896.69 nm, however, the peak power was very low due to its long pulse width of over 100 ns [9].…”

“…Pulsed Tm 3+ -doped fiber (TDF) lasers operating at 2 µm eye-safe spectral region have attracted substantial attention because of their potential applications in metrology, remote sensing, free-space communication, time-resolved molecular spectroscopy, and mid-IR supercontinuum generation. A number of passively mode-locked TDF lasers have been already reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. They can be roughly divided independently of the operation wavelength into two major categories depending on the mode-locking mechanism.…”

A self-starting all-fiber passively mode-locked Tm(3+)-doped fiber laser based on nonlinear loop mirror (NOLM) is demonstrated. Stable soliton pulses centered at 2017.33 nm with 1.56 nm FWHM were produced at a repetition rate of 1.514 MHz with pulse duration of 2.8 ps and pulse energy of 83.8 pJ. As increased pump power, the oscillator can also operate at noise-like (NL) regime. Stable NL pulses with coherence spike width of 341 fs and pulse energy of up to 249.32 nJ was achieved at a center wavelength of 2017.24 nm with 21.33 nm FWHM. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first 2 µm region NOLM-based mode-locked fiber laser operating at two regimes with the highest single pulse energy for NL pulses.

“…As for the 2 µm region, there are a few reports about the nanosecond passively mode-locked fiber laser. In 2013, Fu et al realized a passively mode-locked Tm, Ho-codoped fiber laser with a pulse duration of ∼122 ns and pulse energy of ∼35.2 nJ by utilizing graphene as an SA and lengthening the cavity to ∼213 m [22] . Based on NPR and ∼460 m long cavity length, fundamental mode-locked pulses with a pulse duration of ∼304 ns were obtained by Wang et al [23] .…”

We report on mode-locked thulium-doped fiber lasers with high-energy nanosecond pulses, relying on the transmission in a semiconductor saturable absorber (SESA) and a carbon nanotube (CNTs-PVA) film separately. A section of an SMF–MMF–SMF structure multimode interferometer with a transmission peak wavelength of ∼2003 nm was used as a wavelength selector to fix the laser wavelength. When the SESA acted as a saturable absorber (SA), the mode-locked fiber laser had a maximum output power of ∼461 mW with a pulse energy of ∼0.14 μJ and a pulse duration of ∼9.14 ns. In a CNT-film-based mode-locked fiber laser, stable mode-locked pulses with the maximum output power of ∼46 mW, pulse energy of ∼26.8 nJ and pulse duration of ∼9.3 ns were obtained. To the best of our knowledge, our experiments demonstrated the first 2 μm region ‘real’ SA-based dissipative soliton resonance with the highest mode-locked pulse energy from a ‘real’ SA-based all-fiberized resonator.
