摘要
Materials in the transition metal dichalcogenide family, including WS_2, MoS_2, WSe_2, and MoSe_2, etc., have captured a substantial amount of attention due to their remarkable nonlinearities and optoelectronic properties.Compared with WS_2 and MoS_2, the monolayered MoTe_2 owns a smaller direct bandgap of 1.1 eV. It is beneficial for the applications in broadband absorption. In this letter, using the magnetron sputtering technique, MoTe_2 is deposited on the surface of the tapered fiber to be assembled into the saturable absorber. We first implement the MoTe_2-based Q-switched fiber laser operating at the wavelength of 1559 nm. The minimum pulse duration and signal-to-noise ratio are 677 ns and 63 dB, respectively. Moreover, the output power of 25 mW is impressive compared with previous work. We believe that MoTe_2 is a promising 2D material for ultrafast photonic devices in the high-power Q-switched fiber lasers.
