“…However, small band gap structures of TIs are difficult to achieve in experiment. [39,40] With the CdTe/HgTe/CdTe quantum well model first proposed, TIs have been successfully prepared, [41,42] the feasibility and excellence of the TIs were proved, and research of those kinds of materials was opened. In a typical TI, the pulse duration of the mode-locked laser based on the Sb2Se3-SA could reach 890 fs, and the SNR was 57 dB.…”

Topological insulator materials, including Bi2Te3, Sb2Te3, Sb2Te3 and Bi2Se3, have attracted some attention due to their narrow band gap, high carrier mobility, wide spectral absorption range and other characteristics. Compared with the traditional topological insulator composed of two elements, the new multi-compound topological insulator material can integrate the physical advantages of each element, which is helpful to build an experimental platform with rich physical properties. In this work, the nonlinear optical characteristics of the quaternary material BiSbTeSe2 is reported in the erbium-doped fiber laser. Using the BiSbTeSe2 as a saturable absorber material, the passive Q-switched and mode-locked fiber lasers are achieved. The pulse duration and SNR of the Q-switched fiber laser are 854 ns and 70 dB, respectively. Meanwhile, the pulse duration and SNR of the mode-locked fiber laser are 259 fs and 87.75 dB, respectively. This work proves that the BiSbTeSe2 has a considerable application prospect as a saturable absorber in fiber lasers, and provides a new reference for the selection of high-performance saturable absorber materials.

Frontier and Hot Topics of Pulsed Fiber Lasers via CiteSpace Scientometric Analysis: Passively Mode-Locked Fiber Lasers with Real Saturable Absorbers Based on Two-Dimensional Materials

et al. 2022

Pulsed fiber lasers, with high peak power and narrow pulse widths, have been proven to be an important tool for a variety of fields of application. In this work, frontier and hot topics in pulsed fiber lasers were analyzed with 11,064 articles. Benefitting from the scientometric analysis capabilities of CiteSpace, the analysis found that passively mode-locked fiber lasers with saturable absorbers (SAs) based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have become a hot research topic in the field of pulsed fiber lasers due to the advantages of self-starting operation, high stability, and good compatibility. The excellent nonlinear optical properties exhibited by 2D materials at nanometer-scale thicknesses have become a particularly popular research topic; the research has paved the way for exploring its wider applications. We summarize the performance of several typical 2D materials in ultrafast fiber lasers, such as graphene, topological insulators (TIs), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and black phosphorus (BP). Meanwhile, we review and analyze the direction of the development of 2D SAs for ultrafast fiber lasers.

“…Generally, we expect that 2D materials have a strong saturation absorption effect that would be conducive to achieving the output of ultrashort pulses. In recent years, researchers have used graphene, , black phosphorus, transition metal oxide, , topological insulator (TI), , and other thin film materials as SA, − then they observed the output phenomenon of femtosecond pulse laser in the near-infrared and mid-infrared bands. Although 2D materials have their own unique advantages, there are inevitably short plates, which means that it is difficult for us to define a design where all parameters tend to be perfect.…”

Preparation of High Damage Threshold Device Based on Bi₂Se₃ Film and Its Application in Fiber Lasers

et al. 2023

As a handicap for passive mode-locked lasers to operate stably for a long time, the undesirable damage threshold of saturable absorption devices means that it is difficult to maintain a normal operation state under the irradiation brought by ultrashort pulses. To reduce the damage probability when the saturable absorption devices interact with an ultrafast laser, some technologies have been developed to resist the high-energy irradiation of an ultrafast laser that will also increase the difficulty of laser construction at the same time. In this paper we put forward a new research idea to improve the low-damage threshold problem: optimizing the optical transmittance, which will avoid dissociation due to excessive heat accumulation. Using the melt and machine exfoliation method, the high optical transmittance (>95%) saturable absorption devices based on Bi 2 Se 3 are prepared, whose damage threshold (2.45 mJ/cm 2 ) is nearly 5 times higher than commercial SESAM. The devices applied to generate femtosecond pulses exhibit exciting nonlinear optical effects, which enable the mode-locked fiber laser to operate with a pulse duration of 195 fs and a signal-to-noise ratio of 81.73 dB. This discovery not only proves that the passive mode-locked laser-based high transmittance Bi 2 Se 3 can obtain reliable pulse output, but also provides a new perspective for the selection of saturable absorption materials in the future.
