Few-layer MoS2 saturable absorbers for short-pulse laser technology: current status and future perspectives [Invited]. In: Photonics Research, vol. 3, no. 2, pp. A30–A42, 2015.
Abstract
Few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is emerging as a promising quasi-two-dimensional material for photonics and optoelectronics, further extending the library of suitable layered nanomaterials with exceptional optical properties for use in saturable absorber devices that enable short- pulse generation in laser systems. In this work, we catalog and review the nonlinear optical properties of few-layer MoS2, summarize recent progress in processing and integration into saturable absorber devices, and comment on the current status and future perspectives of MoS2-based pulsed lasers.
