Soliton and bound-state soliton mode-locked fiber laser based on a MoS₂/fluorine mica Langmuir–Blodgett film saturable absorber

Ultrafast fiber laser at 1570 nm based on organic material as saturable absorber

“…Along the development of saturable absorber, many materials have been reported to induce mode-locking operation in fiber laser system, including TMDs 45 – 50 , TIs 51 – 53 , MXene 54 and other emerging materials 55 – 58 . These materials have proven the capability to induce ultrafast phenomena, ranging from picosecond down to femtosecond.…”

Recent advances in mode-locked fiber lasers based on two-dimensional materials

“…Besides, it has low cost, strong flexibility and strong controllability, which is more conducive to the preparation of SAs. However, the scattering of nanomaterials leads to additional thermal dissipation [108,125].…”

Supercontinuum comb generated by soliton molecule pulse laser injecting into a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror

“…The numerical investigation demonstrates the SM formation can refer to the direct soliton-soliton interaction as the oscillating tails overlapped, and the SMs can stably exist in the cavity when phase differences are 0, π, and ± π/2. Heretofore, various SMs have been exemplified in mode-locked fiber lasers based on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) [13], nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM / NALM) [14,15], real saturable absorbers (SAs) (e.g., graphene [16], carbon nanotubes [17,18], MoS 2 / fluorine mica Langmuir Blodgett film [19]), nonlinear multimode interference effect [20], and spatiotemporal mode-locking [21] et al In Ref. [22], the generation and propagation of various SMs were summarized, and pointed out that the SMs can be formed with fundamental unit of conventional solitons, stretched pulses, parabolic pulses, or gain-guided solitons.…”

“…Generally, the aforementioned soliton interactions coexist in the cavity, therefore numerous interesting SMs can be formed by complex soliton-soliton interactions in fiber lasers, namely soliton pairs, soliton triplets, soliton quartets, and multi-pulse bound soliton [24,25]. For mode-locked fiber lasers, aforementioned various SMs with different phase differences could be generated using appropriate pump power and PC orientation in the cavity [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], but the complex soliton-soliton interactions in SMs formation are difficult to control and regulate.…”
