Abstract Transition metal disulfides are widely applied as nonlinear optical materials for laser pulse generation. In this paper, TaS$_{2}$ is successfully used for the first time to achieve a high-energy passively $Q$-switched erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser. TaS$_{2}$ nanosheets are prepared by the liquid phase exfoliation method, and then the TaS$_{2}$ solution is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). TaS$_{2}$/PVA film is prepared, which is cut into $\rm 1 mm \times 1 mm$ flakes. TaS$_{2}$/PVA saturable absorber (SA) is obtained by sandwiching a small flake between two fiber optic patch cable connectors. With the TaS$_{2}$/PVA SA added to an EDF laser, a $Q$-switched fiber laser with a center wavelength of 1560 nm and a repetition rate ranging from 51.33 kHz to 83.04 kHz is realized. At the pump power of 231 mW, the maximum output power is 1094 μW, and the shortest pulse duration is 3.48 μs. The results confirm that the TaS$_{2}$ material has excellent potential for application in nonlinear optics.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
