Nickel diselenide (NiSe2) microspheres were synthesized using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and their nonlinear optical properties were investigated. The prepared NiSe2 exhibits good nonlinear characteristics, demonstrating a high modulation depth and a low saturation intensity. Then the NiSe2 was used as a saturable absorber device and integrated into a 1.5 μm erbium-doped fiber laser to generate Q-switched pulse. By optimizing the cavity dispersion and adjusting the polarization state within the cavity, the single pulse tunable Q-switched pulse, Q-switched mode-locking pulse and quasi-mode-locked pulse based on NiSe2 saturable absorber are realized. Among them, the signal-to-noise ratio of the quasi-mode-locked pulse is as high as 68 dB, which proves that the resulting pulse has high stability. The findings of this study suggest that NiSe2 SA devices have the potential to be developed as highly efficient candidates for ultrafast photonics and can find extensive applications in nonlinear optical fields.
