چکیده
We demonstrate a multiple-channel, mode-locked, all-solid-state Cr:forsterite laser. By inserting an etalon into the laser cavity, we have generated 12 phase-locked channels with 9-19-ps pulse width near 1230 nm with 280-mW average output power from a single laser oscillator. By tuning the etalon bandwidth we can shorten the pulse width in a specific channel to 1.8 ps.

Ex vivo and in vivo second-harmonic-generation imaging of dermal collagen fiber in skin: comparison of imaging characteristics between mode-locked Cr:forsterite and Ti:sapphire lasers.
Second-harmonic-generation (SHG) microscopy is an interesting new tool for observing dermal collagen fiber in skin. However, conventional SHG microscopy using a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser suffers from low penetration depth and a slow image acquisition rate caused by scattering and absorption in tissue, making it difficult to use for in vivo applications on human skin. We develop an SHG micro...
متن کاملLocked Multichannel Generation and Management by Use of a Fabry–Perot Etalon in a Mode-Locked Cr:Forsterite Laser Cavity
We demonstrate a method to manage the locked multichannel output from a mode-locked Cr:forsterite laser cavity, which was achieved by inserting a Fabry–Perot etalon into the oscillator. It is found that the thickness of the etalon determines the channel spacing and its surface reflectivity affects channel linewidth and channel pulsewidth. Following Fabry–Perot theory, we can use these facts to ...
متن کاملDiode-pumped mode-locked femtosecond 2-μm Tm:CaYAlO4 laser
Continuous-wave mode-locked femtosecond 2-m solid-state laser with a c-cut Tm:CaYAlO4 (6 at.%) as gain medium was experimentally demonstrated. The mode locked laser generated stable pulses with average output power as high as 531 mW, pulse duration of 496 fs, and repetition rate of 97 MHz at 1975 nm. The research results show that Tm:CaYAlO4 is an excellent gain medium for femtosecond pulse ge...
متن کاملMethods of passive and active mode locking using intracavity optical frequency mixing.
The mode-locking technique based on intracavity second-harmonic generation is extended to sum- and difference-frequency generation. Simultaneous passive mode locking of two different types of laser in a combined cavity is thus possible. By using the same principle, a laser may be actively mode locked by injection of a pulse train from another mode-locked laser.
متن کاملGeneration of two-color femtosecond pulses by self-synchronizing Ti:sapphire and Cr:forsterite lasers.
We report a novel technique for the synchronization of two different femtosecond solid-state lasers by crossing of both laser pulses in a Kerr medium. Stable dual-wavelength femtosecond pulses at central wavelengths of 820 and 1250 nm have been obtained. The tolerance of cavity-length mismatch is ~0.6mum , where the pulse widths of the Ti:sapphire and the Cr:forsterite lasers are 18 and 40 fs, ...
