Nonlinear optical gain modulation (NOGM) is a simple and effective approach to generate highly coherent ultrafast pulses with a flexible wavelength. In this work, we demonstrate 34 nJ, 170 fs pulse generation at 1319 nm through a piece of phosphorus-doped fiber by two-stage cascaded NOGM with a 1064 nm pulsed pump. Beyond the experiment, numerical results show that 668 nJ, 391 fs pulses at 1.3 µm can be produced with up to 67% conversion efficiency by increasing the pump pulse energy and optimizing the pump pulse duration. This would offer an efficient method to obtain high-energy sub-picosecond laser sources for applications such as multiphoton microscopy.

Dielectric metasurfaces have emerged as an unprecedented platform for precise wavefront manipulation at subwavelength scales with nearly zero loss. When aiming at dynamic applications such as AR/VR and LiDAR, high-quality factor (high-Q) phase gradient metasurfaces have emerged as a way to boost weak light-material interactions in flat-optical components. However, resonant features are naturally tied to polarization, limiting devices to operating on a single polarization state, which reduces the efficiency and adaptability of wave-shaping.

The design and synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention for expanding the range of practical applications. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOFs)-derived NiCoS attached to MXene is rationally designed and constructed for an optical limiter and supercapacitor. The MOF-derived NiCoS enhances the tendency of hydroxyl groups on the MXene surface to attract metal ions, resulting in the formation of sulfur vacancies.

Two new rare earth borate NLO crystals, KNaSrYBO and RbBaLuBO, were successfully designed and synthesized, which feature NLO-active [BO] groups and [Y/LuO] polyhedra. They exhibit notably short UV absorption cutoff edges below 200 nm, wide band gaps exceeding 6.2 eV, and strong second-harmonic generation intensities that are comparable to KDP.
