Abstract:
Graphene, as a kind of extremely thin two-dimensional crystal, has widely attracted scientists’ attention because of their excellent physical and chemical properties. It has been successfully applied to the nonlinear optical research field due to the high thermal and electron mobility conductivity, large specific surface area, wide and adjustable optical band gap and easily modified surface. The optical properties of graphene-based nanomaterials have attracted much recent attention. The scientists has made a series of important research results in this field recently. This article will focus on the progress in the application of nonlinear optical properties of graphene and graphene-based materials in recent years. Firstly, we will summarize the saturated absorption properties of graphene and its applications in laser mode-locking; Secondly, we will summarize the the nonlinear optical properties of graphene oxide under different conditions; Again, we will summarize the optical limiting properties of graphene composites and their applications in laser devices. Accordingly, the challenges in this promising research area are also presented.
