Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and black phosphorus (BP) are typical 2D materials with layer-dependent bandgaps, which are emerging as promising saturable absorption materials for pulsed fiber lasers. In this review, we discuss the nonlinear saturable absorption properties of TMDCs and BP, and summarize the recent progress of saturable absorbers from fabrication methods to incorporation strategies. The performances of saturable absorbers and the properties of Q-switched/mode-locked fiber lasers at different wavelengths are summarized and compared to give a comprehensive insight to optical modulators based on TMDCs/BP, and to promote their practical applications in nonlinear optics.
