“…Previously, it was demonstrated in some research that TMDCs possess excellent optical, electrical, and optoelectronic properties, which makes them applicable in field-effect transistors (FETs), 12 photodetectors, 13,14 and especially SAs for ultrafast photonics. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] SAs are nonlinear optical devices and play a core component in passive Q-switched and mode-locked pulsed lasers. Since 2009 when graphene was used in ultrafast fiber lasers, 21 there have been more and more materials reportedly applied to the generation of ultrashort pulses laser for its capability of saturable absorption, such as TMDCs, 16,19,22 black phosphorus (BPs), [23][24][25] topological insulators (TIs), 26,27 organic frameworks, 28,29 MXenes and MAX phases, [30][31][32][33] and so on.…”

Being a new class of two dimensional (2D) metal carbides, borides, and nitrides, MXenes comprise one of the largest families of 2D nanomaterials that provide huge possibilities in photonics, electronics, and energy, Particularly, MXenes are discovered recently as alternatives to conventional saturable absorbers (SAs), such as carbon nanotube and graphene, which are used for short laser pulse generation. The high saturable absorption, astounding modulation depth, flexible bandgap tunability, and high electron density near Fermi level are the main features that make MXenes excellent candidate materials for SAs. Herein, this review summarizes the recent development on synthesis and characterization of the MXene, with focus on the nonlinear saturable absorption and the application of the MXene SA in mode‐locked fiber lasers. The emerging issues and challenges associated with MXene based SAs, as well as future perspectives of the reviewed topic are also discussed.

“…Attributable to their special qualities, such as an easy laser setup and the ability to produce picosecond and femtosecond [1] pulsed lasers, pulsed all-fibre ring cavity lasers have been patented and are now being used in a wide range of applications, including sensors [2], optical communication, digital services, spectroscopy, micromachining [3], medical systems and biomedicine [4], and material processing [5]. Resistance to disturbance, upright beam quality, and high energy conversion efficiency are some other favourable qualities.…”

This research examines the operation of a passively Q-switched erbium-doped all-fibre laser (EDFL) using a silver (Ag) based saturable absorber (SA) by comparing the output characteristics of the Q-switched laser with those of continuous wave all-fibre lasers. A study was done on how the laser's Q-factor is modified and affects the rate at which pulses are repeated, as well as their output power, width, and energy. The results showed that high-energy Q-switched pulses were successfully generated at the essential 1.5 µm wavelength within the pump power range of 83.6 mW to 171.7 mW, with repetition rates ranging from 33.46 kHz to 77.96 kHz. The EDFL generated a pulse with a width of 4.033 µs and an energy of 2.82 nJ at a pump power of 171.7 mW. The results indicate that Ag may potentially be a good SA for pulse production in the 1.5 µm wavelength area as well as for use in a wide range of applications.
