Abstract A dark pulse generation is demonstrated in a fiber laser configured with a 20 cm long HBEDF and multilayer Black Phosphorus as a gain medium and saturable absorber, respectively. Dark pulses fiber laser at 1.5 µm region was obtained when the pump power exceeds the threshold of 147 mW. Meanwhile, the spectrum of the dark pulse is centred at 1556.40 nm, with the 3 dB bandwidth of 0.12 nm and the separation between adjacent pulses is 1145 ns, corresponding to the cavity length of 211 m. The pulse width was measured to be around 320 ns. The radio-frequency spectrum of the dark pulse, which was measured within the 20 MHz range. More than 17 harmonics were observed within this range, which indicates the mode-locking operation of the laser. The fundamental frequency was obtained at 1.1 MHz, which agreed with the oscilloscope trace. Furthermore, it shows a signal to noise ratio of about 36.58 dB, which indicates good stability. The maximum output power of 0.78 mW and pulse energy of 0.78 nJ were obtained at 187 mW pump power.

We demonstrate the generation of harmonic mode-locking (HML) in an erbium-doped fiber laser with a microfiber-based rhenium disulfide (ReS2) saturable absorber (SA). Taking advantages of both saturable absorption and large third-order nonlinear effect of ReS2, HML pulse with 318.5 MHz repetition rate can be obtained, corresponding to 168th harmonic of fundamental repetition frequency of 1.896 MHz. When the pump power is increased gradually, the pulse interval remains constant, while the output power increases linearly. At the pump power of 450 mW, the output power is [Formula: see text]12 mW. The proposed high-repetition-rate pulse lasers would attract considerable attention due to its potential applications in soliton communications and frequency combs.
