“…The total wavelength tuning range for various pump powers was extended to 170 nm from 2710 to 2880 nm [21]. Very recently, the continuous wavelength tuning range of Er 3+ -doped ZBLAN fiber laser was further extended to 157 nm from 2697 nm to 2854 nm reported by J. Liu et al [24]. Besides, wavelength tuning was also carried out in Ho 3+ /Pr 3+ co-doped and Ho 3+ -doped ZBLAN fiber with longer emission wavelengths than those in Er 3+ -doped ZBLAN fiber [16,[21][22][23]].…”

“…Mid-IR solid-state lasers tunable over a wide range with parametric generation of light and a high radiation intensity have been developed and opened up new possibilities for less-invasive, high-precision, laser surgery, first and foremost, in ophthamology and neuro-and cardiosurgery [15]. Rare earth ion doped fluoride fiber lasers have been shown to offer broad tuning characteristics in the Mid-IR spectral region not easily covered with semiconductor sources [14,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In 2007, Xiushan Zhu et al demonstrated a wavelength tunable Er 3+ -doped ZBLAN fiber laser with a total wavelength tuning range of ~130 nm from 2.7 μm to 2.83 μm and maximum average power of >2 W [20].…”

“…As an alternative, mode-locking can be utilized to realize fs-or pslong pulses [33]. In order to achieve wavelength tuning with ns and longer pulses for tunable 3 μm Mid-IR fiber laser, other techniques such as Q-switching have been utilized [24,34,35]. In 2013, Jianfeng Li et al reported a wavelength tunable AOM actively Q-switched Ho 3+doped ZBLAN fiber laser around 3 μm [34].…”

In this paper, we demonstrate a wavelength widely tunable gain-switched Er³⁺-doped ZBLAN fiber laser around 2.8 μm. The laser can be tuned over 170 nm (2699 nm~2869.9 nm) for various pump power levels, while maintaining stable μs-level single-pulse gain-switched operation with controllable output pulse duration at a selectable repetition rate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first wavelength tunable gain-switched fiber laser in the 3 μm spectral region with the broadest tuning range (doubling the record tuning range) of the pulsed fiber lasers around 3 μm. Influences of pump energy and power on the output gain-switched laser performances are investigated in detail. This robust, simple, and versatile mid-infrared pulsed fiber laser source is highly suitable for many applications including laser surgery, material processing, sensing, spectroscopy, as well as serving as a practical seed source in master oscillator power amplifiers.

“…With the increasing of the pump power from 0.73 to 3.09 W, the frequency rate increases from 41.1 to 122.9 kHz, and the pulse width reduces from 1.75 μs to 640 ns. The pulse duration (640 ns) is shorter than that of the EDZFL with other 2D material SAs, such as graphene (2.9 μs), 69 Bi 2 Te 3 (950 ns), 70 BP (1.18 μs), 71 and MoS 2 (806 ns), 72 indicating that the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene possesses superior property of ultrashort pulse generation. Besides, this pulse performance is better than that of the Ti 2 CT x MXene EDZFL.…”

As a two-dimensional material, MXene has accordion-like structures and possesses highly tunable and tailorable electro-optical capabilities, which suggests that it can be extensively used for electro-photonics devices. Here, we investigate the performances of 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene in the nonlinear optical application of ultrafast photonics spanning the near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) ranges. Interestingly, by utilizing the combined effects of nonlinear saturable absorption and high nonlinearity properties of the Ti 3 C 2 T x photonic device based on a microfiber, rogue waves with a high pulse energy in a fiber laser at 1.55 μm are first obtained. Additionally, by virtue of the Ti 3 C 2 T x saturable absorber, high-power ultrashort pulses are generated in a 2 μm fiber laser. Besides, a Ti 3 C 2 T x Q-switched fiber laser at 2.8 μm is also realized, which can deliver stable pulse trains with a 640 ns pulse width and a 122.9 kHz repetition rate, corresponding to a 1.8 μJ pulse energy and a 2.89 W peak power. The results suggest that as a promising nonlinear optical material, MXene has pioneered a way for the development of ultrafast nonlinear photonic devices in the NIR and MIR ranges.
