Subharmonic mode locking of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been actively mode-locked at a subharmonic frequency for the first time, to authors’ knowledge. The operation mode is provided by combination of traveling wave acousto-optic modulator and spherical cavity mirror. dynamics generation investigated. Pulses with duration 70 ps peak power about 10 MW were obtained. Also presented are new results on obtaining high-power (∼60 kW) picosecond tunable radiation in ∼620 nm region based conversion superluminescent parametric generator pumped such laser.

682 infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Though all these lasers would have some effect on melanin, three wavelength bands are most useful for treating pigmented lesions green, red, and infrared.[1] Its not only about the wavelength, it is more about the right pulse duration and at sufficient fluence. Since green and blue light lasers are long pulsed continuous waves, they cause a ...
متن کاملPassively Q-switched mode-locking of Tm:YAP laser based on Cr:ZnS saturable absorber.
Using a Cr:ZnS wafer as the saturable absorber, diode-pumped passively Q-switched mode-locking of a Tm:YAP laser at 1976 nm has been realized for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, and nearly 100% modulation depth of Q-switched mode-locking was achieved. The width of the mode-locked pulse was estimated to be about 980 ps with a repetition rate of 350 MHz within a roughly 300-ns-long ...
متن کاملSimultaneous Mode Locking in a Diode-Pumped Passively Q-Switched Nd:YVO(4) Laser with a GaAs Saturable Absorber.
Simultaneous mode locking and Q switching is accomplished in a diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4)/GaAs laser. The average output power is ~2.0 W at 10.6-W absorbed pump power, and the repetition rate of the Q-switched pulse is ~120 kHz. The mode-locked pulse inside the Q-switched pulse has a repetition rate of ~148 MHz, and its average duration is estimated to be ~100 ps.
متن کاملThe advantage of using a diode laser instead of a Q-switched laser in photoacoustic imaging of tissues
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of biological tissues using laser diodes instead of conventional Q switched pulsed systems provides an attractive alternative for biomedical applications. However, the relatively low energy of laser diodes operating in the pulsed regime, results in generation of very weak acoustic waves, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the detected signals. This problem can be ...
متن کاملPhase locking of nanosecond pulses in a passively Q-switched two-element fiber laser array
Phase locking of Brillouin backscattering Q-switched laser pulses that are much shorter than the round-trip time of the resonators has been demonstrated in a two-element fiber laser array. Despite the stochastic dynamics of nonlinear pulse generation, simultaneous generation and phase locking of short pulses have been achieved by using diffractive coupling and spatial filtering in an external r...
