We demonstrate passive mode-locking of a Nd:Sc0.2Y0.8SiO5 laser using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The pulse train shows output power of 0.5 W and pulse duration of 3.5 ps at repetition rate of 118 MHz.
Recently, diode-pumped solid-state lasers based on disordered Nd-doped crystals have attracted significant attention. In mode-locked operation they have a potential to generate tunable laser radiation with pulse duration in sub-picosecond time scale as well as to emit muti-wavelength ultrashort pulses which makes them attractive as a source for terahertz generation [1]. Nowadays, the binary and ternary...
By merging Yb fiber oscillator and cryogenically cooled DPSS Yb3+,Na+: CaF2 RA we have generated 195-fs 2-mJ pulses at a 1-kHz repetition rate. Amplification substantially beyond 2 mJ is feasible by improving the quality of surface polishing and AR coatings, as well as by optimizing the RA cavity. Spectral shaping of the seed is crucial for amplification of broad spectra and shows potential for attaining...
Using a novel broadband Yb-doped crystal close-loop cooled at -130degC we demonstrate a 2-6-W multi-kilohertz amplifier delivering sub-200-fs pulses with energies up to 2 mJ. This technology is straightforwardly scalable toward a kHz-repetition-rate multi-mJ output.
Absorption, photoluminescence spectra and CW lasing parameters of an Yb3+- and Na+-codoped CaF2 laser crystal are measured in the temperature range from 5 K to 290 K. The crystal appears to be a promising host for broadband multi-mJ kHz CW-pumped regenerative amplification.
A diode pumped cw laser operation based on 5-at.% doped Yb:GSO crystal was reported. The optical conversion efficiency of 64.5% at 1089 nm was achieved and the tuning range extends to ~65 nm.
