چکیده
A single transverse mode high-pulse-energy vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) was developed. The GaSb-based VECSEL emits at a wavelength of 2.04 µm with peak power exceeding 500 W while maintaining good beam quality. cavity employs Pockels cell combined low-loss thin film polarizer to selectively dump the intracavity energy into 10 ns pulse. has promise for incoherent LIDAR, materials processing, gas sensing, and nonlinear optics.

Creating a Cavity-Dumped Helium Neon Laser
We use an acousto-optic modulator to quickly extract circulating optical power from a homebuilt 1.4 m open-cavity helium neon oscillator. We can extract 100 ns pulses with a maximum peak power of approximately 2 mW at a repetition rate of 100 kHz. We can attain repetition rates of over 1 MHz with decreased peak power. This work was supported by the Laser Teaching Center at Stony Brook Universit...
متن کاملCompact GaSb/silicon-on-insulator 2.0x μm widely tunable external cavity lasers.
2.0x µm widely tunable external cavity lasers realized by combining a GaSb gain chip with a silicon photonics waveguide circuit for wavelength selection are demonstrated. Wavelength tuning over 58 nm from 2.01 to 2.07 µm is demonstrated. In the silicon photonic integrated circuit, laser feedback is realized by using a silicon Bragg grating and continuous tuning is realized by using two thermall...
متن کاملMode-locking of 2 μm Tm,Ho:YAG laser with GaInAs and GaSb-based SESAMs.
We have investigated passive mode-locking of Tm,Ho:YAG lasers with GaInAs- and GaSb-based semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs). With a GaInAs-based SESAM, stable dual-wavelength mode-locking operation was achieved at 2091 nm and 2097 nm, generating pulses with duration of 56.9 ps and a maximum output power of 285 mW. By using the GaSb-based SESAMs, we could generate mode-locked pul...
متن کاملSolitary pulse shaping dynamics in cavity-dumped laser oscillators.
The pulse shaping dynamics of a diode-pumped laser oscillator with cavity dumping operating in the solitary regime is studied experimentally and numerically. The stability of the laser system is investigated in dependence on the relevant laser parameters. With a stroboscopic detection technique the intracavity temporal and spectral pulse profiles are measured between two dumping events. The res...
متن کاملHigh-peak-power pulse generation from a monolithic master oscillator power amplifier at 1.5 μm.
We present an experimental study on the generation of high-peak-power short optical pulses from a fully integrated master-oscillator power-amplifier emitting at 1.5 μm. High-peak-power (2.7 W) optical pulses with short duration (100 ps) have been generated by gain switching the master oscillator under optimized driving conditions. The static and dynamic characteristics of the device have been s...
