Introduction

New two-dimensional materials have been the driving force behind advancements and improvements in the field of ultrafast photonics. There has been a lot of interest in the new single-element, two-dimensional materials called xenias, which have special physical and photoelectric properties like tenable broadband nonlinear storable absorption, an ultrafast carrier recovery rate, and an ultrashort recovery time. The various integration strategies and preparation steps for xenias are first extensively covered. The results of beyond graphene fiber lasers based on xenias are then summarized, and output pulse characteristics determined by material characterisation and nonlinear optical absorption properties are used to classify the results. Finally, we talk about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for ultrafast photonics devices made of xenias and other materials [1].

Description

Ultrafast lasers, particularly those inspired by it sapphire mode-locked lasers, provide a stable and dependable light source for a wide range of fundamental and advanced scientific research, including modern astrology, biology, chemistry, and material processing. Due to their advantages of excellent beam quality, high conversion efficiency, compact structure, free alignment, excellent heat dissipation, and environmental robustness, ultrafast fiber lasers have become essential tools in the fields of advanced materials processing, medical diagnosis and treatment, optical communication, nonlinear microscopy, and so on [2].

The fundamental approach is to employ the mode-locked method, which has a small footprint, straightforward integration, low costs, and high efficiency. The storable absorber device, which can be artificial or real, can realize nonlinear absorption related to the intensity of incident light based on birefringent properties, dependent rotation of an elliptical polarized light, or nonlinear refractive. This is the core of the passively mode-locked approach. However, non-polarization-maintaining fibers have not been widely used due to their low output power, poor environmental stability, and difficulty selfstarting. Cost, volume, and structural complexity will undoubtedly rise with unique cavity structures and polarization-maintaining fiber. Semiconductor storable absorber mirrors, which have been utilized in commercial modelocked fiber lasers [3], represent real.

However, the time-consuming alignment, high cost, and complicated production and encapsulation process severely limit the advantages of the all-fiber format. Nanotechnology and materials science are constantly developing alongside laser technology; advances in nanomaterials manufacturing technology take advantage of novel opportunities for the production of new materials. A new approach to the design of photonic devices has emerged thanks to low-dimensional materials, another type of real with a strong nonlinear storable absorption effect, an ultrafast carrier recovery time, and ease of preparation and integration into fiber systems [4]. Due to the abundance of fascinating electrical, optical, and chemical characteristics like atomic layer thickness, high carrier mobility, high optical absorption coefficient, and strong light-material interaction, numerous researches on photonic applications based on graphene and other 2D materials have been reported since then. Graphene is the first of these twodimensional materials to be used in ultrafast photonics devices [5].

Conclusion

However, its usefulness is limited when significant light-matter interaction is required due to the zero-bandgap structure. Black phosphorus is thought to be a perfect material because of its unusual in-plane anisotropic structure and high mobility of charge carriers. Bandgaps in transition metal chalcogenides range from to an energy range. to the visible to the nearinfrared spectral range For instance, the bandgaps of three well-known bulk structure, electronic, and optical properties are strongly correlated with the number of layers, limiting the practical applications of photonic devices. Topological insulators can produce wavelengths of less than one wavelength with a bandgap.
