چکیده
We report a collinear output and tunable dual-wavelength CW Ti:sapphire laser with a simple cavity configuration. The wavelength splitting range is easily tuned from 10 nm to 110 nm, which provides 56 THz bandwidth for terahertz generation. The total output power of two colors with the spatial mode of TEM(00) is between 700 mW and 300 mW, for small and large wavelength splittings, respectively, under 5 W argon-ion laser pumping.

Diode-pumped, single-frequency Cr:LiSrAlF6 ring laser.
The Ti:sapphire laser has become an established source for cw, watt-level, single-frequency power from 680 to 1050 nm, but the commonly used Ar-ion laser pump source is a disadvantage for many applications. Tunable, external-cavity, single-frequency diode lasers are available for portions of this wavelength region, but a given diode laser can cover a range of only 15– 25 nm. Cr:LiSrAlF6 (Cr:LiS...
متن کاملElectronically tuned picosecond Ti:sapphire laser
A widely electronically tunable picosecond Ti:sapphire laser is demonstrated without any mechanical rotation or movement for the first time. With the second harmonics of the Nd:YAG laser as a pump source, the laser produces 10 ps pulses with a maximum output power of 350 mW. The wavelength of the self-starting ultrashort laser pulses can be rapidly and arbitrarily accessed in the region from 76...
متن کاملAll-solid-state tunable continuous-wave ultraviolet source with high spectral purity and frequency stability.
We present a novel approach for the generation of higly frequency-stable, widely tunable, single-frequency cw UV light that is suitable for high-resolution spectroscopy. Sum-frequency generation (SFG) of two solid-state sources with a single cavity resonant for both fundamental waves is employed. Using a highly stable, narrow-linewidth frequency-doubled cw Nd:YAG laser as a master laser and sla...

A dual-frequency 1.55 µm laser for CW low noise microwave, millimeter and sub millimeter wave synthesis is demonstrated, where frequency stabilization is possible on each wavelength independently. The solid state Er:Yb laser output power is 7 mW. The amplitude noise is -150 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. In free running regime, the frequency noise is 3.10(5)/f Hz/sqrt(Hz) (800 Hz on a 1µs ti...
متن کاملSingle-frequency CW Ti:sapphire laser with intensity noise manipulation and continuous frequency-tuning.
We present a tunable single-frequency CW Ti:sapphire laser with intensity noise manipulation. The manipulation of the laser intensity noise is realized by varying the frequency of the modulation signal loaded on the electrodes of an intracavity electro-optic etalon. A lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystal is used to act as the electro-optic etalon, and its electro-optic effect is utilized...
