“…The methods of preparing the MoS 2 SA used in solid state lasers mainly include the solution method [29][30][31][32], liquid-phase-exfoliated method [33] and vacuum filtration method [27]. Those methods were uncontrollable and the samples were impure.…”

Monolayer MoS 2 film on quartz was fabricated by a home-made three-temperature zone chemical vapor deposition method. The photo, AFM image, Raman spectroscopy and HRTEM image showed that high quality as-grown MoS 2 film completely covered the whole quartz substrate of a few cm 2 . A Nd:YVO 4 laser with mode-locking operation was obtained by using the monolayer MoS 2 on quartz as the saturable absorber (SA). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on large-area growth of high quality monolayer MoS 2 film on transparent quartz substrate, and the first time that the CVD MoS 2 SA was used in mode-locked solid state lasers. Because of the large area, high transmission, low non-saturable loss and high optical damage threshold of this material, it is very suitable for application in mode-locked solid state lasers.

Pulsed solid‐state lasers comprise 2D materials as saturable absorbers that contain transparent windows of the atmosphere and characteristic fingerprint spectra of several vital molecules that are significant in various applications and research. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the development of narrow pulse width, high energy, high average output power, high efficiency, and simple construction of passively Q‐switched and mode‐locked lasers with 2D materials as saturable absorbers. This review summarizes the development of 2D materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, topological insulators, and MXenes, as modulator devices for solid‐state lasers owing to their broadband operation, excellent nonlinear optical response, low recovery time, ultrafast dynamic processing, and easy fabrication. Then, some new emerging and representative applications of pulsed solid‐state lasers are introduced and illustrated such as laser surgery, material processing, and lidar. Finally, future challenges and perspectives of pulsed solid‐state lasers with 2D materials‐based saturable absorbers are analyzed and addressed. The rapid development of pulsed solid‐state lasers with the continuous improvement of modulation technology is expected to expand opportunities for application in industry, scientific, medical, and other areas.
