Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are distinguished by their thermal and chemical stability as well as excellent optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. Moreover, the 3 d -orbital electrons of the transition metal ions in TMOs have a strong d − d Coulomb interaction, enabling them to exhibit a variety of unusual physical phenomena, dramatically different from conventional metals and semiconductors. Additionally, TMOs possess excellent nonlinear optical properties, such as third-order nonlinear response and saturation absorption, which make them broadly applicable for ultrafast photonics devices. Herein, a review is presented of the nonlinear optical properties of typical TMOs, as well as their employment as saturable absorbers in near-infrared pulsed fiber lasers in recent years. Finally, some challenges and promising prospects for nonlinear ultrafast photonic devices based on TMOs are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
