Solution-processed two-dimensional materials for ultrafast fiber lasers (invited)
Since 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 ...

CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite Nanorods Saturable Absorber for Stable Ultra-Fast Laser
In this paper, we propose a novel ultrafast laser with nanostructure CH3NH3PbI3 nanorods, yielding a higher modulation depth and lower optical loss. Our experiment is performed through nanopatterned CH3NH3PbI3 rods and an all-solid-state passive mode ...

Ultrafast Laser Welding of Silicon
While ultrafast laser welding is an appealing technique for bonding transparent workpieces, it is not applicable for joining silicon samples due to nonlinear propagation effects which dramatically diminish the possible energy deposition at the interface.

Wideband saturable absorption in few-layer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe₂) for Q-switching Yb-, Er- and Tm-doped fiber lasers. [PDF]
We fabricate a free-standing molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) saturable absorber by embedding liquid-phase exfoliated few-layer MoSe2 flakes into a polymer film.

Ultrafast laser synthesis of zeolites
Research has demonstrated that zeolite nucleation and growth can be controlled by fine-tuning chemical composition, temperature, and pressure, resulting in structures with diverse porosities and functionalities. Nevertheless, current energy delivery methods lack the finesse required to operate on the femto- and picosecond timescales of silica ...
