Interlayer coupling in van der Waals heterostructures exhibits unique physical properties and presents a new pathway for diverse applications in materials science and photonics. Interestingly, photo-responsivity of graphene with semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) can be enhanced in the UV-visible range by interlayer charge/energy transfer. However, such an effect has been studied only for semiconducting materials.
In this work, we will discuss ultrafast hot-electron transfer in atomically thin metallic-layer VSe2/graphene heterostructures investigated by time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy. Our experimental finding extends the concepts of conventional two-dimensional heterostructures to metallic-layer and can provide a new degree of freedom for designing novel functionalized materials and devices.
Tetragonal calcium rare-earth aluminates, CaLnAlO4, combine a structural disorder with good thermo-mechanical properties. We report on efficient continuous-wave (CW) and passively Q-switched (PQS) ~2-μm laser operation of a 4 at.% Tm:CaYAlO4 crystal using a compact (6-mm-long) plane-parallel cavity. The pump source was a 791 nm fibercoupled AlGaAs laser diode. The CW output power reached 5.78 W at ~1970 nm with a slope efficiency of 43.6% and a linear laser polarization. Stable PQS operation was achieved using a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based transmission-type saturable absorber. The PQS laser generated 2.15 W at ~1945 nm, a record-high average output power for this type of lasers. The best pulse characteristics (energy/duration) were 9.1 μJ/165 ns at a repetition rate of 235 kHz.
