“…The highest achievable repetition rate in this scenario is 7.41 GHz, which corresponding to 378th harmonic order. The SMSR of 7.41 GHz pulses is 20.7 dB which is higher than the previous report of L-band PHML [9]- [11]. From the results, we know this maybe an alternative approach to obtain higher repetition rate when the process of increasing pump power is unavailable.…”

Via using an L-band optimized in-fiber polarizing grating device, a GHz L-band femtosecond passively harmonic mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation is first demonstrated. In total, 4.22 GHz pulses with the duration of 810 fs and super-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of 32 dB are obtained under the pump power of 712 mW corresponding to 215 th harmonic order. The central wavelength of 4.22 GHz pulses is 1581.7 nm with 10.1 nm 3 dB bandwidth. Furthermore, under this fixed pump power, higher harmonic orders can also be attained by rotating the polarization controllers properly. The highest repetition rate we obtained is 7.41 GHz with the SMSR of 20.7 dB.

“…But the corresponding SMSR at 5.88 GHz is only 19 dB [10]. Recently, 550 MHz L-band HML pulses have been obtained by means of a carbon nanotubes film [11]. It is found that L band HML relies on physical SA could hardly reach GHz repetition rate with >30 dB SMSR.…”

Nanomaterials with remarkable optical, mechanical, and electrical properties have shed new light on various fields including optoelectronics, sensors, biomedicine, and ultrafast photonics. Particularly, owing to their nonlinear optical properties, fast recovery time, and broadband operation, nanomaterials are well qualified as saturable absorbers in ultrafast pulsed lasers. Over the development of the past decades, various nanomaterials have been developed as saturable absorbers, which contribute to a diversity of lasers with excellent performance. Therefore, it is important for researchers to provide a landmark of the applications of nanomaterials in ultrafast photonics concerning cutting‐edge development. Herein, the integration and applications of nanomaterials in ultrafast photonics are reviewed. First, end‐face, lateral, as well as photonic crystal fibers padding integration methods are introduced along with their process and characteristics. Then the ultrafast applications of nanomaterials including carbon‐based (carbon nanotubes and graphene), typical 2D (topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes), and metal‐based nanomaterials (gold, silver, copper, and metal oxides) are summarized. Major parameters of ultrafast lasers and features of each nanomaterial are presented simultaneously. Finally, the perspectives of nanomaterials for further development in ultrafast photonics are discussed.

“…By using this method, we obtained 42nd HML pulses at repetition frequency up to 1.15 GHz from film-type CNT SA-based fiber laser under pump power of 321 mW [201]. Taking advantage of wide operation wavelength range of CNTs, L-band PHML fiber laser using CNT film was proposed first in the same year [202]. We have carried out a systematic exploration on the effects of average cavity dispersion and spectral bandwidth on HML in L-band using similar laser scheme [203].…”

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess remarkable nonlinear optical properties; a particular application is to function as a mode locker used in ultrafast fiber lasers to produce ultrashort optical pulses. Various types of CNT saturable absorbers (SAs) and ultrafast fiber lasers have been demonstrated. In this review, typical fabrication process and development of CNT SAs are discussed and we highlight the recent investigation and progress of state-of-the-art ultrafast fiber lasers covering GHz, bidirectional ultrafast fiber lasers, vectorial mode fiber lasers, comb systems, and mode-locking dynamics. Our perspectives of ultrafast fiber lasers based on CNT SAs are given finally.
