“…The insertion loss incurred by the V 2 C-PVA film SA may account for the blue shift observed in the laser output peak wavelength. Additionally, the broadening of the output spectrum may be explained by the self-phase modulation effect, which occurs due to the high laser intensity produced in the THDFL cavity [28]. Figure 7(b) demonstrates the oscilloscope traces of output pulses attained under the pump power of 448.7 mW.…”

MXene, a group of 2D materials, has garnered significant attention from researchers due to its impressive characteristics, such as large surface area, high metallic conductivity, and strong nonlinear saturable absorption. These properties make MXene an excellent material for exploring new possibilities in ultrafast photonics technology. The present study has demonstrated that vanadium carbide (V2C) MXene can function as a saturable absorber (SA) and effectively generate Q-switching pulses in the 1.9 μm wavelength region. The molten salt synthesis method was used to synthesize V2C MXene, which involved the selective etching of aluminum (Al) layers from the V2AlC MAX Phase precursor. The V2C MXene was transformed into a thin film by mixing it with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using a solution casting technique. The resulting V2C-PVA film was found to have saturable absorption properties, with a modulation depth of 8% and saturation intensity of 1.6 MW cm −2. Upon integrating the V2C-PVA film into the Thulium/Holmium-doped fiber laser (THDFL) cavity, stable Q-switching pulses were realized at a central wavelength of 1896.9 nm with 13.9 nm of 3-dB spectral bandwidth. At the maximum pump power of 448.7 mW, the 2.2 μs of pulse duration, 58.26 kHz of repetition rate, and 31 nJ of pulse energy were achieved. By adjusting the tunable bandpass filter (TBPF) integrated within the THDFL cavity, the system has a tunable spectral range of approximately 120.75 nm, from 1889.75 nm to 2010.5 nm. The exceptional performance of V2C-based SA for Q-switching operation showcases the immense potential of other MXene materials in the future of photonics applications.

Metal nanomaterials possess excellent physical properties, which can be used as catalysts, storage carriers, and nonlinear photonic devices. Nickel nanoparticles have become increasingly crucial for ultrafast applications due to their broadband saturable absorption properties. Herein, nickel nanoparticles are prepared through an oil-phase method, followed by integration with nitrocellulose to form a composite film. Microscopic images, linear transmission, and nonlinear absorption properties of the film are presented to investigate the characteristics of nickel nanoparticles. Furthermore, Yb-, Er-, and Tm-doped fiber lasers are built based on a nickel-based saturable absorber, where Q-switched pulses are realized at 1, 1.5, and 2 μm. These results prove that nickel nanoparticles exhibit broad-band saturable absorption, showing promise for facilitating highperformance pulsed lasers.

This study experimentally demonstrates the operation of a dual-wavelength passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser that incorporates CaCO3 nanoparticles as a saturable absorber (SA). The SA was prepared by using the drop-casting method, wherein CaCO3 nanoparticles were embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer to form a CaCO3/PVA film SA. The film was integrated into a ring laser cavity with a 976 nm pump to generate Q-switched pulses. The properties of the SA were examined experimentally, and its modulation depth is approximately 47%. As the pump power increased from 180 mW to 270 mW and the pulse repetition rate increased from 12.67 kHz to 21.3 kHz, the corresponding pulse width decreased from 35.27 μs to 18.74 μs. The signal-to-noise ratio was approximately 25 dB, highlighting the laser’s stability. The results indicate that the proposed CaCO3/PVA SA is suitable for realizing portable Q-switched lasers.
