“…In order to achieve pulse emission of lasers, Q-switching and mode-locking based on saturable absorber (SA) are the widely used techniques due to the advantages of excellent mechanical stability, easy implementation and low cost. Since the first generation of SA when the Nd: glass laser was successfully used for pulse generation in 1966 [1], various type of SAs had been intensively investigate developed, such as the ion-doped crystals [2,3], Semiconductor Saturable Absorption mirror (SESAM) [4,5], and Carbon Nano-Tube (CNT) [6,7]. Among them, the SESAMs are the most widely used one due to their high flexibility and stability.…”

Black phosphorus (BP), an emerging narrow direct band-gap two-dimensional (2D) layered material that can fill the gap between the semi-metallic graphene and the wide-bandgap transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), had been experimentally found to exhibit the saturation of optical absorption if under strong light illumination. By taking advantage of this saturable absorption property, we could fabricate a new type of optical saturable absorber (SA) based on mechanically exfoliated BPs, and further demonstrate the applications for ultra-fast laser photonics. Based on the balanced synchronous twin-detector measurement method, we have characterized the saturable absorption property of the fabricated BP-SAs at the telecommunication band. By incorporating the BP-based SAs device into the all-fiber Erbium-doped fiber laser cavities, we are able to obtain either the passive Q-switching (with maximum pulse energy of 94.3 nJ) or the passive mode-locking operation (with pulse duration down to 946 fs). Our results show that BP could also be developed as an effective SA for pulsed fiber or solid-state lasers.
