Two-dimensional (2D) ternary transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are of great research interest because their superior layer-dependent optical modulation properties. In this work, three different kinds of TMDC nanosheets, including hafnium diselenide (HfSe2), titanium diselenide (TiSe2) and zirconium diselenide (ZrSe2), are prepared by liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) technique. The high-quality material properties of these TMDC nanosheets are confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, the bandgap information of five-layer MSe2 has been investigated via utilizing density functional theory. The calculation results exhibit ultra-narrow bandgap structure (lower than 1.1 eV) for all these three materials, indicating that MSe2 is suitable for broadband photonic applications. By applying the fabricated MSe2 as saturable absorbers, high-performance Q-switched mode-locked laser operation has been realized. The laser gain media are Nd:GdVO4 cladding waveguides fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing. As a result, the pulsed waveguide lasers are able to deliver approximately 6-GHz laser pulses with a signal-to-noise ratio of over 45 dB. The minimum pulse width is determined to be as short as 26 ps. The results demonstrated in this work exhibit the great potential of TMDCs and waveguide structures in applications of pulsed lasers with compact footprints. |
