Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the large band gaps in many semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides make optical absorption in the near-infrared wavelength Regime impossible, which prevents applications of these materials in optical communications. In this work, we demonstrate that Ar ion irradiation is a powerful post-synthesis technique to tailor the optical properties of the semiconducting tungsten disulfide by creating S-vacancies and thus controlling material stoichiometry. First-principles calculations reveal that the S-vacancies give rise to deep states in the band gap, which determine the near-infrared optical absorption of the tungsten disulfide monolayer. As the density of the S-vacancies increases, the enhanced the near-infrared linear and saturable absorption of tungsten disulfide is observed, which is explained by the results of first-principles calculations. We further demonstrate that by using the irradiated tungsten disulfide as a saturable absorber in a waveguide system, the passively Q-switched laser operations can be optimized, thus opening new avenues for tailoring the optical response of transition metal dichalcogenides by defect-engineering through ion irradiation.
