“…It is anticipated that the soliton fiber lasers could serve as an ideal testbed for the study on bound solitons. So far, there have been plenty of reports on bound solitons 72,75,80,86,100,110,130,134,187,348,371,374, or claimed as soliton molecules 70,74,78,96,131,189,209,214,354, in mode locked fiber lasers. The bound states of solitons were first experimentally observed in a fiber laser mode locked with the nonlinear polarization rotation technique.…”

“…The bound states of solitons were first experimentally observed in a fiber laser mode locked with the nonlinear polarization rotation technique. 374,385 Later, with the development of novel material based real saturable absorber (SA) mode locking techniques, such as the carbon nanotube mode locking and 2D-nano-materials mode locking, formation of bound states of solitons has also been observed in fiber lasers mode locked with the carbon nanotubes, 410,421,423,464,465 graphene, 70,72,74,75,78,80,86,96,100 MoS 2 , 130,131,134 black phosphorus, 109,110 and so on. As these saturable absorbers may be polarization independent, bound states of vector solitons were also reported in fiber lasers.…”

Solitons are stable localized wave packets that can propagate long distance in dispersive media without changing their shapes. As particle-like nonlinear localized waves, solitons have been investigated in different physical systems. Owing to potential applications in optical communication and optical signal processing systems, optical solitons have attracted intense interest in the past three decades. To experimentally study the formation and dynamics of temporal optical solitons, fiber lasers are considered as a wonderful nonlinear system. During the last decade, several kinds of theoretically predicted solitons were observed experimentally in fiber lasers. In this review, we present a detailed overview of the experimentally verified optical solitons in fiber lasers, including bright solitons, dark solitons, vector solitons, dissipative solitons, dispersion-managed solitons, polarization domain wall solitons, and so on. An outlook for the development on the solitons in fiber lasers is also provided and discussed.

“…Compared with the actively Q-switched and mode-locked lasers, which frequently depend on an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) [10] or an electro-optic modulator (EOM) [11] for pulsed operation, the passive ones that use low-dimensional nanomaterials as saturable absorbers (SAs) possess the merits of cost effectiveness, low optical loss, simplicity, and ease of integration into a laser system [12][13][14][15]. As deeply studied SAs, low-dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], topological insulators (TIs) [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], MXenes [41][42][43][44][45][46], transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]…”

Abstract The recent renaissance in pulsed lasers operating in the visible spectral region has been driven by their significant applications in a wide range of fields such as display technology, medicine, microscopy, material processing, and scientific research. Low-dimensional nanomaterials as saturable absorbers are exploited to create strong nonlinear saturable absorption for pulse generation at visible wavelengths due to their absorption peaks located in visible spectral region. Here we provide a detailed overview of visible-wavelength pulsed lasers based on low-dimensional nanomaterials, covering the optical properties and various integration strategies of these nanomaterials saturable absorbers, and their performance from solid-state as well as fiber pulsed lasers in the visible spectral range. This emerging application domain will undoubtedly lead to the rapid development of visible pulsed lasers.

In this work, all fiber temperature measurement based on change of light polarization is demonstrated using tapered fiber coated with graphene. The large evanescent field of tapered fiber allows graphene to absorb the surrounding heat and subsequently this changes the refractive index of graphene coated tapered fiber. The change of refractive index is due to thermo‐optic effect. When there is a change in surrounding temperature, refractive index of the coated tapered fiber changes and this subsequently modifies the injected light polarization. The proposed temperature sensor can measure temperature up to 250°C and its sensitivity is ascertained at 0.48°/°C. The proposed temperature sensor is beneficial for future Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
