We　have　demonstrated　a　high　order　harmonic　mode-locked　erbium-doped　fiber　laser　by　utilizing　2H-MoTe2　film　as　a　saturable　absorber　(SA).　The　SA　is　synthesized　by　depositing　2H-MoTe2　film　on　a　D-shaped　fiber.　The　nonlinear　optical　properties　of　the　2H-MoTe2　SA　are　characterized,　showing　a　modulation　depth　of　14.7%　and　a　saturation　intensity　of　3　GW　cm−2.　Through　optimizing　the　pump　power　and　intra-cavity　polarization　state,　a　171st-order　harmonic　soliton　at　0.9　GHz　repetition　frequency　with　a　pulse　width　of　1.06　ps　was　obtained.　The　fundamentally　mode-locked　pulse　train　had　a　pulse　width　of　1.03　ps　and　a　repetition　rate　of　5.33　MHz.　To　the　best　of　our　knowledge,　the　171st-order　harmonic　soliton　is　the　highest　operating　repetition　frequency　that　has　ever　been　demonstrated　in　a　2H-MoTe2　SA　mode　locked　fiber　laser.　The　results　indicate　the　potential　of　2H-MoTe2　SA　at　high　repetition　rates　regimes,　which　could　benefit　for　future　possible　application.　©　2024　Astro　Ltd.
