超短脉冲激光是当前和未来光子技术发展不可缺少的工具。这种激光器已经取得了巨大的进步，采用了新的脉冲方式，并在其腔内加入了新的设备。近年来，基于纳米材料的可饱和吸收材料(SA)被应用于超快激光器中，与传统的SA相比，它提高了激光性能，并导致了物理尺寸的减小。到目前为止，用于SA器件开发的纳米材料有碳纳米管、石墨烯、拓扑绝缘体、过渡金属二卤化物(TMD)和黑磷。这些材料具有独特的优势，如高的非线性光学响应、光纤兼容性和易于制造等。在这些方面，TMD是一种重要的、新兴的用于光子学和光电子应用的二维纳米材料。因此，我们回顾了基于TMD(特别是MoS_2、MoSe_2、WS_2和WSe_2)的调Q和锁模脉冲激光器的报道。(C)2016爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Ultrashort pulsed laser is an indispensable tool for the evolution of photonic technology in the present and future. This laser has been progressing tremendously with new pulse regimes and incorporating novel devices inside its cavity. Recently, a nanomaterial based saturable absorber (SA) was used in ultrafast laser that has improved the lasing performance and caused a reduction in the physical dimension when compared to conventional SAs. To date, the nanomaterials that are exploited for the development of SA devices are carbon nanotubes, graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and black phosphorous. These materials have unique advantages such as high nonlinear optical response, fiber compatibility and ease of fabrication. In these, TMDs are prominent and an emerging two-dimensional nanomaterial for photonics and optoelectronics applications. Therefore, we review the reports of Q-switched and mode-locked pulsed lasers using TMDs (specifically MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2) based SAs. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
