Solution processed MoS2-PVA composite for sub-bandgap mode-locking of a wideband tunable ultrafast er:fiber laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
We fabricate a free-standing few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-polymer composite by liquid phase exfoliation of chemically pristine MoS2 crystals and use this to demonstrate a wideband tunable, ultrafast mode-locked fiber laser. Stable, picosecond pulses, tunable from 1535 nm to 1565 nm, are generated, corresponding to photon energies below the MoS2 material bandgap. These results contribute to the growing body of work studying the nonlinear optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides that present new opportunities for ultrafast photonic applications.

Ultrafast laser sources have garnered considerable attention for their many potential applications, ranging from meteorology to telecommunications, medicine, and materials processing. Most of these lasers employ a mode-locking technique in which a nonlinear optical element, called a saturable absorber,turns the laser's continuous wave output into a train of ultrashort optical pulses. Currently,...

Graphene-like two dimensional materials, such as WS2 and MoS2, are highly anisotropic layered compounds that have attracted growing interest from basic research to practical applications. Similar with MoS2, few-layer WS2 has remarkable physical properties. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that WS2 nanosheets exhibit ultrafast nonlinear saturable absorption property and high optical damag...

We demonstrate the generation of a dissipative soliton in an all-normal dispersion ytterbium (Yb)-doped fiber laser using few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as a saturable absorber. The saturable absorber is prepared by mixing few-layer MoS2 solution with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form a free-standing composite film. The modulation depth and saturation intensity of the MoS2–PVA film are 11%...

Few-layer transition-metal dichalcogenide WSe2/MoSe2 nanosheets are fabricated by a liquid exfoliation technique using sodium deoxycholate bile salt as surfactant, and their nonlinear optical properties are investigated based on a balanced twin-detector measurement scheme. It is demonstrated that both types of nanosheets exhibit nonlinear saturable absorption properties at the wavelength of 1.5...
