Black phosphorus has been recently rediscovered as a new and interesting two-dimensional material due to its unique electronic and optical properties. Here, we study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of black phosphorus thin films, indicating that both linear and nonlinear optical properties are anisotropic and can be tuned by the film thickness. Then we employ the nonlinear optical property of black phosphorus for ultrafast (pulse duration down to ~786 fs in mode-locking) and large-energy (pulse energy up to >18 nJ in Q-switching) pulse generation in fiber lasers at the near-infrared telecommunication band ~1.5 {mu}m. Our results underscore relatively large optical nonlinearity in black phosphorus and its prospective for ultrafast pulse generation, paving the way to black phosphorus based nonlinear and ultrafast photonics applications (e.g., ultrafast all-optical switches/modulators, frequency converters etc.).

Dynamical materials that capable of responding to optical stimuli have always been pursued for designing novel photonic devices and functionalities, of which the response speed and amplitude as well as integration adaptability and energy effectivenes s are especially critical. Here we show ultrafast pulse generation by exploiting the ultrafast and sensitive nonlinear dynamical processes in tunably solution-processed colloidal epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) transparent conducting oxide (TCO) nanocrystals (NCs), of which the potential respond response speed is >2 THz and modulation depth is ~23% pumped at ~0.7 mJ/cm2, benefiting from the highly confined geometry in addition to the ENZ enhancement effect. These ENZ NCs may offer a scalable and printable material solution for dynamic photonic and optoelectronic devices.
In contrast with imaging using position-resolving cameras, single-pixel imaging uses a bucket detector along with spatially structured illumination for image recovery. This emerging imaging technique is a promising candidate for a broad range of appl ications due to high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and sensitivity, and applicability in a wide range of frequency bands. Here, inspired by single-pixel imaging in the spatial domain, we demonstrate a temporal single-pixel imaging (TSPI) system that covers frequency bands including both terahertz (THz) and near-infrared (NIR) region. By implementing a programmable temporal fan-out (TFO) gate based on a digital micromirror device (DMD), we can deterministically prepare temporally structured pulses with a temporal sampling size down to 16.00$pm$0.01 fs. By inheriting the advantages in detection efficiency and sensitivity from spatial single-pixel imaging, TSPI enables the compressive recovery of a 5 fJ THz pulse and two NIR pulses with over 97$%$ fidelity. We demonstrate that the TSPI is robust against temporal distortions in the probe pulse train as well. As a direct application, we apply TSPI to machine-learning-aided THz spectroscopy and demonstrate a high sample identification accuracy (97.5$%$) even under low SNRs (SNR $sim$ 10).

We examine how the generation and propagation of high-order harmonics in a partly ionized gas medium affect their strength and synchronization. The temporal properties of the resulting attosecond pulses generated in long gas targets can be significan tly influenced by macroscopic effects, in particular by the intensity in the medium and the degree of ionization. Under some conditions, the use of gas targets longer than the absorption length can lead to the generation of self-compressed attosecond pulses. We show this effect experimentally, using long argon-filled gas cells as generating medium.
Black phosphorus has recently emerged as a promising material for high performance electronic and optoelectronic device for its high mobility, tunable mid-infrared bandgap and anisotropic electronic properties. Dynamical evolution of photo excited ca rriers and its induced change of transient electronic properties are critical for materials high field performance, but remains to be explored for black phosphorus. In this work, we perform angle resolved transient reflection spectroscopy to study the dynamical evolution of anisotropic properties of black phosphorus under photo excitation. We find that the anisotropy of reflectivity is enhanced in the pump induced quasi-equilibrium state, suggesting an extraordinary enhancement of the anisotropy in dynamical conductivity in hot carrier dominated regime. These results raise enormous possibilities of creating high field, angle sensitive electronic, optoelectronic and remote sensing devices exploiting the dynamical electronic anisotropic with black phosphorus.

Black phosphorus is a quasi-two-dimensional layered semiconductor with a narrow direct band gap of 0.3 eV. A giant surface Stark effect can be produced by the potassium doping of black phosphorus, leading to a semiconductor to semimetal phase transit ion originating from the creation of a strong surface dipole and associated band bending. By using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we report the partial photoinduced screening of this band bending by the creation of a compensating surface photovoltage. We further resolve the detailed dynamics of this effect at the pertinent timescales and the related evolution of the band structure near the Fermi level. We demonstrate that after a fast rise time, the surface photovoltage exhibits a plateau over a few tens of picoseconds before decaying on the nanosecond timescale. We support our experimental results with simulations based on drift-diffusion equations.
