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.

“…24 Therefore, the saturable absorption (SA) properties of these novel 2D materials are an important research topic, as the mainstream saturable absorbers used for Q-switching and mode locking, e.g., doped crystals and SESAMs, still have some limitations such as narrow operation wavebands, limited response times, high cost, and complex fabrication processes. 34,35 A previous study confirmed that WS 2 exhibits strong SA properties and an ultrahigh optical damage threshold with a broad operational wavelength range from the visible range [36][37][38] up to the mid infrared range; 39,40 therefore, Q-switching 32,34,[36][37][38][40][41][42][43][44][45] and mode locking 32,35,39,[46][47][48] laser pulses can be generated by utilizing WS 2 as a saturable absorber in various laser systems. The fabrication of WS 2 film is relatively simple and low cost compared with that of the mainstream saturable absorbers used in commercial pulsed laser products.…”

“…Other solvents used for graphene were ortho-dichlorobenzene [168] and perfluorinated aromatic solvents [169]. Among the solvents used for fabricating SAs, NMP is the most popular [61, 67, 88, 103, 116, 117, 119-129, 144, 145], while other solvents used are DMF [85][86][87][88] and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) [42,89,104,[116][117][118]. While the main advantage of using solvents is the high purity of the final material, there are also several drawbacks.…”

AbstractSince graphene was first reported as a saturable absorber to achieve ultrafast pulses in fiber lasers, many other two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes, have been widely investigated in fiber lasers due to their broadband operation, ultrafast recovery time, and controllable modulation depth. Recently, solution-processing methods for the fabrication of 2D materials have attracted considerable interest due to their advantages of low cost, easy fabrication, and scalability. Here, we review the various solution-processed methods for the preparation of different 2D materials. Then, the applications and performance of solution-processing-based 2D materials in fiber lasers are discussed. Finally, a perspective of the solution-processed methods and 2D material-based saturable absorbers are presented.
