“…Crystal structure of Bi2Te3 with three primitive lattice vectors denoted as t1,2,3 and a quintuple layer as indicated by the red square [3] Experimentally, the first demonstration of passive saturable absorber (SA) of Bi2Te3 for ultrafast fiber laser has been done by drop casting techique on a quartz plate [5]. Since that, the integration of the SA is approached either by evanescent wave interaction [6][7][8][9], sandwiching [7][8] or free space coupling [10] with a wider operating wavelength from 1 μm to 3 μm [6][7][8][9][10]. The TI based passive SA application has been reported by Chen et al [7] and Wu et al [8] by using Bi2Te3.…”

Abstract. We demonstrate a passive Q-switched by integrating a Bismuth (III) Telluride (Bi2Te3) dispersed in Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) as passive saturable absorber. The experimental works show that the proposed passive saturable absorber operated at input power ranging from 21.69 mW to 126.89 mW with central operating wavelength of 1531 nm. We observe the tunable repetition rate from 40 kHz to 166 kHz with the shortest pulse width of 1.32 μs. The laser produced maximum instantaneous output peak power and pulse energy of 1.62 mW and 11.2 nJ, respectively. The signal to noise ratio was measured at 49 dB which indicates the stability of the generated pulse.

Abstract-We demonstrate passive Q-switching in a 2m region by integrating Bismuth (III) Telluride (Bi2Te3) embedded in Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). Bi2Te3 was embedded in PVA by a solution casting approach to develop a Bi2Te3-PVA film and integrated in the laser cavity with a ring configuration to generate a pulse laser. The experimental works show that the proposed passive saturable absorber operates at input pump power ranges from 637mW to 784mW with a central wavelength of 1957.6nm. We observed a tunable repetition rate from 12.6kHz to 26.1kHz with the shortest pulse width of 2.22s. The laser produces maximum instantaneous output peak power and pulse energy of 0.42W and 0.94J, respectively.

Topological insulators are quantum materials that have an insulating bulk state and a topologically protected metallic surface state with spin and momentum helical locking and a Dirac-like band structure.(1-3) Unique and fascinating electronic properties, such as the quantum spin Hall effect, topological magnetoelectric effects, magnetic monopole image, and Majorana fermions, are expected from topological insulator materials.(4, 5) Thus topological insulator materials have great potential applications in spintronics and quantum information processing, as well as magnetoelectric devices with higher efficiency.(6, 7) Three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators are associated with gapless surface states, and two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators with gapless edge states.(8) The topological surface (edge) states have been mainly investigated by first-principle theoretical calculation, electronic transport, angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).(9) A variety of compounds have been identified as 2D or 3D topological insulators, including HgTe/CdTe, On the other hand, topological insulator materials also exhibit a number of excellent optical properties, including Kerr and Faraday rotation, ultrahigh bulk refractive index, near-infrared frequency transparency, unusual electromagnetic scattering and ultra-broadband surface plasmon resonances. In details, Dirac plasmon excitations have been observed in Bi 2 Se 3 micro-ribbon arrays at the THz frequency.(13) Ultraviolet and visible frequency plasmonics have been observed in nanoslit and nanocone arrays of Bi 1.5 Sb 0.5 Te 1.8 Se 1.2 crystals.(14, 15) High transparency has been observed in nanometer scale Bi 2 Se 3 nanoplates. Ultrahigh refractive index has been observed in the bulk of Bi 1.5 Sb 0.5 Te 1.8 Se 1.2 crystals and Sb 2 Te 3 thin films.(15, 16) These excellent optical properties enable topological
