Ultralow Saturation Intensity Topological Insulator Saturable Absorber for Gigahertz Mode-Locked Solid-State Lasers

The successful demonstration of Q-switched and mode-locked fiber-laser operations using a topological insulator (TI) as saturable absorber (SA) has opened an application window besides TI's originally expected features. However, to date, all-solid-state mode-locked lasers base on TISAs are stil...
