Popis: Few-layer molybdenum disul de (MoS2) is emerging as a promising quasi-two-dimensional material, 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 article, 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.
