Abstract:
The two-dimensional (2D) layered material MoS2 has attracted numerous attentions for electronics and optoelectronics applications. In this work, a novel type of MoS2-doped sol-gel glass composite material is prepared. The nonlinear optical properties of prepared MoS2/SiO2 composite material are measured with modulation depth (ΔT) of 3.5% and saturable intensity (Isat) of 20.15 MW/cm2. The optical damage threshold is 3.46 J/cm2. Using the MoS2/SiO2 composite material as saturable absorber (SA), a passive mode-locked Er-doped fiber (EDF) laser is realized. Stable conventional soliton mode-locking pulses are successfully generated with a pulse width of 780 fs at the pump power of 90 mW. In the pump power range of 100-600 mW, another stable mode-locking operation is obtained. The pulse width is 1.21 ps and the maximum output power is 5.11 mW. The results indicate that MoS2/SiO2 composite materials could offer a new way for optical applications.

Self-Locking Screw
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.
What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
