Abstract
As a typical two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic insulator (FI), the Cr2Si2Te6 (CST) has performance ferromagnetic properties. The previous investigation has shown that quantum mechanical simulation can get structure and electronic properties of CST, and the indirect gap value of CST is 0.6 eV by establishing its layered calculation. It implies that the CST is an excellent optical modulator due to larger infrared radiation absorption interval. Based on that, some groups conducted the research of fiber laser based on CST saturable absorber (SA). However, the exploration and application of 2D CST in optics is still in the early stage. In this investigation, the CST was utilized as a SA in an Er-doped fiber laser. The dual-wavelength mode-locked pulse could be observed when the pump power was adjusted from 25 to 140 mW. The CST was applied in Er-doped fiber as SA for generating dual-wavelength mode-locked pulse for the first time. It exhibits performance optical properties that provide a significant reference for exploring the application of 2D materials in ultrafast laser.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
