Nanotube and graphene saturable absorbers for fibre lasers
Amos Martinez,Zhipei Sun +1 more
TL;DR: Nanotubes and graphene have emerged as promising materials for use in ultrafast fiber lasers as discussed by the authors, and their unique electrical and optical properties enable them to be used as saturable absorbers that have fast responses and broadband operation and can be easily integrated in fibre lasers.

Femtosecond pulse erbium-doped fiber laser by a few-layer MoS 2 saturable absorber
Hao Liu,Ai-Ping Luo,Fu-Zao Wang,Rui Tang,Meng Liu,Zhi-Chao Luo,Wen-Cheng Xu,Chujun Zhao,Han Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: The generation of a femtosecond pulse in a fiber ring laser by using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2) SA) saturable absorber indicates that the filmy PVA-based MoS( 2) SA is indeed a good candidate for an ultrafast saturable absorption device.

Impact of fiber outer boundaries on leaky mode losses in leakage channel fibers.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a deviation from circular fiber outer shape may be an effective method to mitigate HOM loss reduction from coherent reflection from fiber outer boundary, even in double-clad fibers, with HOM losses in excess of 20 dB/m measured in the hexagonal LCF while keeping FM loss negligible.

Self-phase-locked degenerate femtosecond optical parametric oscillator.
Samuel T. Wong,Tomas Plettner,Konstantin L. Vodopyanov,Karel E. Urbanek,Michel J. F. Digonnet,Robert L. Byer +5 more
TL;DR: The SPOPO exhibited passive all-optical self-phase-locking between the pump and signal/idler and thus required no external electronic feedback to produce the phase-locked subharmonic.
