Ultrashort pulse generation with MXene Ti3C2Tx embedded in PVA and deposited onto D-shaped fiber

A two-dimensional ternary metal carbide or/and nitride known as MXene, own countless merits in terms of electronic and optical properties. Owning to its fast optical-switching capability, strong saturable absorption, good optical damage tolerant, and gapless materials, it attracts a bunch of researc...
