In this work, sub-kilowatt, compact thulium-doped fiber laser systems, operating at a wavelength of 1940 nm, have been presented. The continuous-wave laser power generated out of a single oscillator was 90 W with a slope efficiency of 56.7%. Applying a master oscillator – power amplifier configuration, an output power of 120.5 W with a slope efficiency of 58.2% was demonstrated. These are the first results of the works aimed at developing kW-class “eye-safe” laser systems in Poland. Full Text: PDF ReferencesZ.

AbstractSince graphene was first reported as a saturable absorber to achieve ultrafast pulses in fiber lasers, many other two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes, have been widely investigated in fiber lasers due to their broadband operation, ultrafast recovery time, and controllable modulation depth. Recently, solution-processing methods for the fabrication of 2D materials have attracted considerable interest due to their advantages of low cost, easy fabrication, and scalability. Here, we review the various solution-processed methods for the preparation of different 2D materials. Then, the applications and performance of solution-processing-based 2D materials in fiber lasers are discussed. Finally, a perspective of the solution-processed methods and 2D material-based saturable absorbers are presented.

Fiber laser sources near 2um wavelength have attracted intense interest in recent years because of the combination of high laser efficiency, strong absorption of many visible transparent materials, outstanding reliability, as well as retina safety. In this presentation, we report our latest developments of various 2um fiber lasers at AdValue Photonics for packaging applications, especially Q-switched and mode-locked 2um fiber lasers using our proprietary infrared glass fiber technology. We demonstrated and commercialized the first all-fiber Q-switched single-frequency laser at a wavelength near 2um using our proprietary rare-earth doped gain fibers. The laser pulsewidth can be 20ns and 180ns, and the peak power can be more than 10kW. Most transparent plastic materials have a relatively strong absorption near 2 micron wavelength, so 2 micron Q-switched fiber laser is one of the ideal laser for transparent plastic welding, marking, cutting, and drilling. Silicon has a good optical transmission near 2 micron wavelength, which allows 2 micron Q-switched to process the material after pass through the silicon wafer as well as remove residual materials containing any organic components. In this presentation we will describe detailed experimental results and present material processing samples for packaging applications.

Wide-spectral saturable absorption (SA) in low-dimensional (LD) nanomaterials such as zero-, one-, and two-dimensional materials has been proven experimentally with outstanding results, including low saturation intensity, deep modulation depth, and fast carrier recovery time. LD nanomaterials can therefore be used as SAs for mode-locking or Q-switching to generate ultrafast fiber laser pulses with a high repetition rate and short duration in the visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared wavelength regions. Here, we review the recent development of emerging LD nanomaterials as SAs for ultrafast mode-locked fiber laser applications in different dispersion regimes such as anomalous and normal dispersion regimes of the laser cavity operating in the near-infrared region, especially at ~1550 nm. The preparation methods, nonlinear optical properties of LD SAs, and various integration schemes for incorporating LD SAs into fiber laser systems are introduced. In addition to these, externally (electrically or optically) controlled pulsed fiber laser behavior and other characteristics of various LD SAs are summarized. Finally, the perspectives and challenges facing LD SA-based mode-locked ultrafast fiber lasers are highlighted.

Abstract Since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have always been the focus of material research. The layers of 2D materials are covalent bonds, and the layers are weakly bonded to adjacent layers through van der Waals (vdW) interactions. Since any dangling-bond-free surface could be combined with another material through vdW forces, the concept can be extended. This can refer to the integration of 2D materials with any other non-2D materials through non-covalent interactions. The emerging mixed-dimensional (2D+nD, where n is 0, 1 or 3) heterostructure devices has been studied and represents a wider range of vdW heterostructures. New electronic devices and optoelectronic devices based on such heterojunctions have unique functions. Therefore, this article depicts the research progress of (2D+nD, where n is 0, 1 or 3) vdW heterojunctions based on 2D materials.
