Abstract

Transition metal ditellurides (TMDTs) have numerous attractive properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. In this study, cobalt ditelluride (CoTe2) nanosheets, a promising TMDT for photonic applications, were prepared using an ultrasound-enhanced liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) method. A novel saturable absorber (SA) employing CoTe2 nanosheets was then fabricated by optically depositing them on microfiber. The nonlinear optical modulation properties of the CoTe2 SA were investigated. A high-performance 1 μm ultrafast fiber laser was demonstrated by incorporating newly developed CoTe2 nanosheets-based SA in a ring cavity ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL). The dynamical behaviour of the proposed passively mode-locked YDFL in response to variations in pump optical power was investigated. The findings reveal that the device achieved a modulation depth of 2.5 %, and saturation light intensity of 30.6 MW/cm2. Moreover, a stable and robust mode-locked soliton optical pulse sequence with a fundamental repetition frequency of 3.089 MHz, and a pulse duration of 224 fs was generated at 1032 nm. The proposed YDFL, being all-fiber, compact, and cost-effective, is set to find extensive applications in various domains, including optical fiber communication, sensing, and biomedical imaging.
以 CoTe2 纳米片为超快调制器,在 1μm 波长下从掺镱光纤激光器中产生 224-fs 孤子脉冲
过渡金属二碲化镉(TMDTs)具有许多吸引人的特性,因此适合广泛的应用。本研究采用超声波增强液相剥离(LPE)法制备了一种具有光子应用前景的过渡金属二碲化镉(CoTe2)纳米片。然后,通过光学方法将 CoTe2 纳米片沉积在超细纤维上,制成了一种采用 CoTe2 纳米片的新型可饱和吸收器(SA)。研究了 CoTe2 SA 的非线性光学调制特性。通过在环腔掺镱光纤激光器(YDFL)中加入新开发的基于 CoTe2 纳米片的 SA,演示了高性能 1 μm 超快光纤激光器。研究了所提出的被动锁模 YDFL 响应泵浦光功率变化的动态特性。研究结果表明,该装置的调制深度为 2.5%,饱和光强为 30.6 MW/cm2。此外,还在 1032 nm 波长下产生了一个稳定、稳健的锁模孤子光脉冲序列,其基本重复频率为 3.089 MHz,脉冲持续时间为 224 fs。所提出的 YDFL 具有全光纤、结构紧凑和成本效益高等特点,必将在光纤通信、传感和生物医学成像等各个领域得到广泛应用。

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.
