“…In 2017, Huang et al achieved a Q-switched laser at 1064 nm where microfibers were sandwiched by BP flakes to integrate SA, providing an effective way to prolong the life of BP flakes by isolating them from the air [ 297 ]. In 2019, Wang et al demonstrated both Q-switched and mode-locked lasers based on BP by inserting polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg gratings [ 298 ]. The operating wavelength could be turned to 1063.8 and 1064.1 nm, respectively, as well as concurrently.…”

Owing to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties, two-dimensional (2D) materials have aroused extensive attention and have been widely used in photonic and optoelectronic devices, catalytic reactions, and biomedicine. In particular, 2D materials possess a unique bandgap structure and nonlinear optical properties, which can be used as saturable absorbers in ultrafast lasers. Here, we mainly review the top-down and bottom-up methods for preparing 2D materials, such as graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes. Then, we focus on the ultrafast applications of 2D materials at the typical operating wavelengths of 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 μm. The key parameters and output performance of ultrafast pulsed lasers based on 2D materials are discussed. Furthermore, an outlook regarding the fabrication methods and the development of 2D materials in ultrafast photonics is also presented.

“…The laser can be flexibly switched in three kinds of emitting states in the cavity by adjusting the individual wavelength of 1063.8 and 1064.1 nm, respectively. In addition, the wavelength spacing can be tuned from 0.02 to 0.52 nm in the dual wavelength emission state by applying stress on the fast axis or slow axis of the utilized PM-FBG [202]. Or using solid-state lasers with different gain media, the pulse output of the same BP sample in the range of 1-2.7 μm can be realized [152].…”

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive interests due to their wide range of electronic and optical properties. After continuous and extensive research, black phosphorus (BP), a novel member of 2D layered semiconductor material, benefit for the unique in-plane anisotropic structure, controllable direct bandgap characteristic, and high charge carrier mobility, has attracted tremendous attention and successfully applied in ultrafast pulse generation. This article, which focuses on near-infrared ultrafast laser demonstration of BP, present discussion of preparation methods for high quality BP nanosheet, various BP based ultrafast lasers in the spatial/temporal domain, and the future research needs.

“…Obviously, the choice of solvent plays a key role in the preparation of materials using this technique. Currently, the commonly used solvents are ethanol [31], NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) [72,[79][80][81], DMF (dimethyl formamide), IPA (isopropanol) [78], PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) [82][83][84], acetone, and surfactant sodium cholate. For example, Chu et al [79] studied a LPE strategy using NMP to fabricate BP with water stability and controllable layer and dimension.…”

“…With the rapid development of the laser field, scientists have recently paid more attention to the nonlinear optical properties of black phosphorus and its analogs, which allow them to be used in passively mode-locked fiber lasers as saturable absorbers to generate shorter pulses [27][28][29][30][31][32]. The basic thought of using saturable absorbers for pulse mode-locking is that when the light pulse passes through the absorber, the loss of the edge part is greater than the loss of the central part (which is strong enough to saturate the absorber), the light pulse is thus narrowed [33,34].…”

The tunable bandgap from 0.3 eV to 2 eV of black phosphorus (BP) makes it to fill the gap in graphene. When studying the properties of BP more comprehensive, scientists have discovered that many two-dimensional materials, such as tellurene, antimonene, bismuthene, indium selenide and tin sulfide, have similar structures and properties to black phosphorus thus called black phosphorus analogs. In this review, we briefly introduce preparation methods of black phosphorus and its analogs, with emphasis on the method of mechanical exfoliation (ME), liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). And their characterization and properties according to their classification of single-element materials and multi-element materials are described. We focus on the performance of passively mode-locked fiber lasers using BP and its analogs as saturable absorbers (SA) and demonstrated this part through classification of working wavelength. Finally, we introduce the application of BP and its analogs, and discuss their future research prospects.
