Buildup of steady-state picosecond pulses in an actively mode-locked laser-diode array.
We have studied experimentally the temporal and spectral characteristics of an actively mode-locked laserdiode array in an external cavity as it evolves to the steady state. It is found that the buildup time to steadystate picosecond pulses takes less than 45 round trips. The number of clusters of the longitudinal-mode spectrum reduces during the evolution and finally approaches a steady-state ...
متن کاملDual-wavelength actively mode-locked laser-diode array with an external grating-loaded cavity.
We report the generation of dual-wavelength picosecond pulses by use of a commercial laser-diode array. The laser cavity incorporated a folded dispersive delay line with a V-shaped double-stripe mirror. The spectral separation of the laser output at the two wavelengths can be tuned from 2 to 11 nm. The actively mode-locked pulse widths at the two wavelengths were both 29 ps. Cross-correlation a...
متن کاملBuildup of steady-state subpicosecond and femtosecond pulses in a colliding-pulse mode-locked ring dye laser.
We show for the first time, to our knowledge, that the buildup time to steady-state femtosecond pulses in a typical colliding-pulse mode-locked dye laser (lambda = 620 nm) with compensating prisms is 15 microsec after the pulses have been completely modulated. For a similar laser without the compensating prisms, the buildup time is 40 microsec and exhibits interesting oscillatory behavior in th...
متن کاملBandwidth-limited picosecond pulse generation in an actively mode-locked GaAs laser with intracavity chirp compensation.
A Gires-Tournois interferometer has been applied for intracavity chirp compensation of an actively mode-locked GaAs laser. Fourier-transform-limited pulses as short as 4.6 psec have been obtained at 790 nm.
متن کاملDispersion Effects in an Actively Mode-Locked Inhomogeneously Broadened Laser
We theoretically and experimentally studied the dispersion effects in an actively mode-locked inhomogeneously broadened laser. In the positive group velocity dispersion (GVD) region, the laser generates incoherent pulses. Self-phase modulation and resonant dispersion impede reduction of the pulse duration when the GVD is small or near zero. A single, stable, soliton-like pulse can be generated ...
