AbstractIn this article, a high-quality saturable absorber (SA) based on a two-dimensional ternary chalcogenide Ta2NiS5 nanosheet has been successfully fabricated and used in 1- and 1.5-μm spectral regions to generate ultrafast laser pulses. The Ta2NiS5-based SA is fabricated by mechanical exfoliation and sandwiched between two fiber ferrules to form a fiber-compatible SA. On the basis of the twin-detector technique, nonlinear optical absorption of the Ta2NiS5-SA is characterized by 64.7% and 11.95% modulation depths with 1.3 and 0.72 MW/cm2 saturation intensities at 1028 and 1570 nm, respectively. When Ta2NiS5-SA is integrated into Yb- and Er-doped fiber laser cavities, stable self-starting Q-switched pulses are observed. Furthermore, by adjusting the cavity structure and optimizing dispersion in the cavity, we obtain hybrid mode-locking and mode-locking fiber laser operation at 1029 and 1569 nm, respectively. These results validate the performance of Ta2NiS5 as a broadband SA for the generation of ultrafast laser pulses, offering new opportunities of ternary transition-metal dichalcogenide alloys in future photonic devices.

We report on a mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser delivering highly-chirped pulses with several tens of nanojoules of energy around 1560 nm and its exploitation to efficiently pump a fiber optical parametric oscillator (FOPO), thus enabling picosecond pulse generation around 1700 nm. The laser cavity features a high normal dispersion and mode-locking is sustained using tailored spectral filtering combined with nonlinear polarization evolution and a semiconductor saturable absorber. Numerical simulations show that the laser dynamics is governed by a strong mode-locking mechanism compensating for the large spectral and temporal pulse evolution along the cavity. In the frame of high energy picosecond pulse generation around 1700 nm, we then demonstrate that using highly-chirped pulses as pump pulses allows for the efficient tuning of the FOPO idler wavelength between 1620 and 1870 nm. In addition, satisfying noise characteristics have been achieved both for the Er-laser and the FOPO, with respective relative intensity noises (RIN) of −154 and −140 dBc/Hz, thus paving the way for the use of such sources in ultrafast instrumentation.
