Characterization of InGaAs and InGaAsN semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors for high-power mode-locked thin-disk lasers
We report a comparative study of carrier dynamics in semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) containing InGaAs quantum wells and InGaAsN quantum wells (QWs). The static and dynamic reflectivity spectra were measured with a Fourier-transform-infraredspectrometer and a pump-probe setup, respectively. The influence of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on carrier dynamics was studied. Due to ...
متن کاملIntra-cavity cryogenic optical refrigeration using high power vertical external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs).
A 7% Yb:YLF crystal is laser cooled to 131 ± 1 K from room temperature by placing it inside the external cavity of a high power InGaAs/GaAs VECSEL operating at 1020 nm with 0.15 nm linewidth. This is the lowest temperature achieved in the intracavity geometry to date and presents major progress towards realizing an all-solid-state compact optical cryocooler.
متن کاملUltra-Thin Highly Deformable Composite Mirrors
Optical quality mirrors are heavy, expensive and difficult to manufacture. This paper presents a novel mirror concept based on an active laminate consisting of an ultra-thin carbon-fiber shell bonded to a piezo-ceramic active layer coated with patterned electrodes. Mirrors based on this concept are less than 1 mm thick and hence are very lightweight and flexible. They also have a large dynamic ...
متن کاملWave-front correction of femtosecond terawatt lasers by deformable mirrors.
Wave-front correction and focal spot improvement of femtosecond laser beams have been achieved, for the first time to our knowledge, with a deformable mirror with an on-line single-shot three-wave lateral shearing interferometer diagnostic. Wave-front distortions of a 100-fs laser that are due to third-order nonlinear effects have been compensated for. This technique, which permits correction i...
متن کاملUltra-compact, high-yield intra-cavity contacts for GaAs/AlGaAs-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
A novel method of fabricating compact intra-cavity contacts with high yield for GaAs/AlGaAs-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers is presented. By carefully tailoring the composition of highaluminum content layer, a highly selective Al2O3 etch-stop layer can be formed simultaneously with the oxide aperture during wet thermal oxidation. With this technique, contact metals can be uniforml...
