Platinum diselenide (PtSe2), a type-II Dirac semi-metal material, is a potential saturable absorber (SA) to generate visible pulsed lasers due to its prominent optoelectronic properties. A high quality PtSe2 thin film was fabricated by combining magnetron sputtering with chemical vapor deposition methods; then, its microtopography was characterized by atomic force microscopy. The saturable absorption properties and electron relaxation time in the visible region were measured via open-aperture Z-scan and femtosecond pump probe technology, respectively. The modulation depth and saturable intensity are 39.9% and 256.6 GW cm-2, respectively. The relaxation time constants were fitted to be τ1 = (1.405 ± 0.024) ps, τ2 = (99.03 ± 0.01) ps, and τ3 = (2.032 ± 0.27) ns. The as-prepared PtSe2 thin film was experimentally applied as a novel SA to achieve a stable passively Q-switched (PQS) Pr:YLF visible laser. A shortest pulse width of 91.8 ns with a maximum repetition rate of 297.6 kHz was obtained. These results demonstrate that the PtSe2 thin film has promising applications in generating visible pulsed lasers.

Low-dimensional platinum diselenide (PtSe) is a promising candidate for high-performance optoelectronics in the short-wavelength mid-infrared band due to its high carrier mobility, excellent stability, and tunable bandgap. However, light usually interacts moderately with low-dimensional PtSe, limiting the optoelectronic responses of PtSe-based devices. Here we demonstrated a giant optical absorption of a PtSe-on-silicon waveguide by integrating a ten-layer PtSe film on an ultra-thin silicon waveguide.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) layers are highly promising as field-effect transistor (FET) channels in the atomic-scale limit. However, accomplishing this superiority in scaled-up FETs remains challenging due to their van der Waals (vdW) bonding nature with respect to conventional metal electrodes. Herein, we report a scalable approach to fabricate centimeter-scale all-2D FET arrays of platinum diselenide (PtSe) with in-plane platinum ditelluride (PtTe) edge contacts, mitigating the aforementioned challenges.

Atomically thin platinum diselenide (PtSe) films are promising for applications in the fields of electronics, spintronics, and photodetectors owing to their tunable electronic structure and high carrier mobility. Using terahertz (THz) spectroscopy techniques, we investigated the layer-dependent semiconducting-to-metallic phase transition and associated intrinsic carrier dynamics in large-scale PtSe films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The uniformity of large-scale PtSe films was characterized by spatially and frequency-resolved THz-based sheet conductivity mapping.
