Core–shell structured MoS 2 /MWCNT (multi‐walled carbon nanotube) nanocomposites show distinct nonlinear modulation behavior for different temporally pulsed lasers. For femtosecond pulses, the nanocomposites first allow more light transmit and then block more light, showing a transition from saturable absorption to optical limiting due to effective charge transfer. For nanosecond pulses, the nanocomposites exhibit optical limiting behavior arising from thermally induced nonlinear light scattering. More information can be found in the Full Paper by J. Wang et al. on page 3321 ff.
