Metallic 2H-Tantalum Selenide Nanomaterials as Saturable Absorber for Dual-Wavelength Q-Switched Fiber Laser

A novel 2H-phase transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)–tantalum selenide (TaSe<sub>2</sub>) with metallic bandgap structure is a potential photoelectric material. A band structure simulation of TaSe<sub>2</sub> via ab initio method indicated its metallic property. An effectiv...
