Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive interests due to their wide range of electronic and optical properties. After continuous and extensive research, black phosphorus (BP), a novel member of 2D layered semiconductor material, benefit for the unique in-plane anisotropic structure, controllable direct bandgap characteristic, and high charge carrier mobility, has attracted tremendous attention and successfully applied in ultrafast pulse generation. This article, which focuses on near-infrared ultrafast laser demonstration of BP, present discussion of preparation methods for high quality BP nanosheet, various BP based ultrafast lasers in the spatial/temporal domain, and the future research needs.

Keywords: black phosphorus; near-infrared; saturable absorber.
