摘要

Nb2SiTe4（NST）具有空气稳定性、窄带隙、高电子迁移率、优异的吸收特性和各向异性的光学特性。本研究采用液相剥离法制备了 NST QDs，随后将其应用于锥形光纤，形成掺铒光纤激光器的可饱和吸收体。利用双臂平衡探测系统评估了非线性光学特性，结果发现饱和强度为 2.36 KW/cm2，调制深度为 9.56%。将 NST QDs-SA 应用于掺铒光纤激光器（EDFL）系统后，产生了稳定的锁模脉冲，中心波长为 1574.43 nm，重复频率为 21.50 MHz，脉冲持续时间为 747 fs。这些结果证明了 NST 作为窄带 SA 的潜力，为设计空气稳定的超快光子器件提供了新的途径。

Mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser based on stable narrow-gap semiconductor Nb2SiTe4 quantum dots

Nb₂SiTe₄ (NST) has been shown air-stable with narrow band gap, high electron mobility, excellent absorption properties, and anisotropic optical properties. In this research, liquid phase exfoliation method was employed to prepare NST QDs which were subsequently applied to the tapered fiber to form saturable absorbers for erbium-doped fiber laser. A two-armed balanced probing system was used to assess the nonlinear optical properties, resulting a saturation intensity of 2.36 KW/cm² and a modulation depth of 9.56%. Following the implementation of the NST QDs-SA to Er-doped fiber laser (EDFL) system, stable mode-locked pulses were produced exhibiting the center wavelength of 1574.43 nm, the repetition frequency of 21.50 MHz, and the pulse duration of 747 fs. Those results demonstrate the potential of NST as a narrowband SA, offering new avenues for the design of air-stable ultrafast photonic devices.
