“…As mentioned earlier, in either case, an SA is needed as a pulse‐shaping device. Over the past decade, SAs made of layered materials have been widely used in passively mode‐locked/Q‐switched lasers, and a lot of important results have been achieved . In this section, we will briefly review the research history and recent achievements of these lasers and related nonlinear optical phenomenon.…”

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.

“…However, there have been no systematic studies on the dynamic of RWs in a specific SA-MLFL, which would be a direction for the study in the future. In the last decade, 2-D nanomaterials, including grapheme, 73,[163][164][165] topological insulators, 53 and transition metal dichalcogenides, [166][167][168] have been widely applied as optical saturable absorbers for MLFLs and have been studied for RW generation. 53 In the last three years, there have been many 2-D materials reported for application in ultrafast fiber lasers, [169][170][171][172] which has significantly enhanced the development of the ultrafast lasers.…”

Rogue waves (RWs) are rare, extreme amplitude, localized wave packets, which have received much interest recently in different areas of physics. Fiber lasers with their abundant nonlinear dynamics provide an ideal platform to observe optical RW formation. We review recent research progress on rogue waves in fiber lasers. Basic concepts of RWs and the mechanisms of RW generation in fiber lasers are discussed, along with representative experimental and theoretical results. The measurement methods for RW identification in fiber lasers are presented and analyzed. Finally, prospects for future RW research in fiber lasers are summarized.

Effect of Deposition Pressure on the Microstructure and Optical Band Gap of Molybdenum Disulfide Films Prepared by Magnetron Sputtering

et al. 2019

MoS2 films were prepared via magnetron sputtering under different deposition pressures, and the effects of deposition pressure on the crystal structure, surface morphology, and optical properties of the resulting films were investigated. The results show that the crystallinity of the films first increases and then decreases with increasing pressure. The surface of the films prepared by magnetron sputtering is dense and uniform with few defects. The deposition pressure affects the grain size, surface morphology, and optical band gap of the films. The films deposited at a deposition pressure of 1 Pa revealed remarkable crystallinity, a 30.35 nm grain size, and a 1.67 eV optical band gap. Given the large electronegativity difference between MoS2 molecules and weak van der Waals forces between layers, the MoS2 films are prone to defects at different deposition pressures, causing the exciton energy near defects to decrease and the modulation of the surrounding band.
