چکیده
We describe a diode-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr(3+):LiSrAlF(6) laser that produces 50 mW of 70-fs pulses in the 820-890-nm range when pumped by two red diodes of 400 mW each. By using a lower-transmission output coupler we have demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge a self-starting regime with an output power of 10 mW and 55-fs pulses.

متن کامل1.2-GHz repetition rate, diode-pumped femtosecond Yb:KYW laser mode-locked by a carbon nanotube saturable absorber mirror.
We demonstrate a 1.2-GHz repetition rate, diode-pumped, self-starting, 168-fs (FWHM) pulsewidth Yb:KYW laser mode-locked by a carbon nanotube (CNT) saturable absorber mirror. To our knowledge, this result corresponds to the highest repetition rate from CNT-mode-locked femtosecond bulk solid-state lasers, reaching the GHz regime for the first time.
متن کامل50-fs pulse generation from a self-starting cw passively mode-locked Cr:LiSrAlF6 laser.
Femtosecond laser physics has been transformed by the advent of the titanium-doped sapphire laser, which has been mode locked by conventional and novel means (e.g., Refs. 1-7) and directly yielded pulses as short as 25 fs.' The observation of selfmode locking5 has led to the realization that the nonlinear refractive index of the laser medium can be used to provide both amplitude modulation, thr...
متن کاملCompact and efficient Cr:LiSAF lasers pumped by one single-spatial-mode diode : a minimal cost approach
In this study, we report a minimal-cost and minimal-complexity Cr:LiSAF laser that is pumped only by one inexpensive single-spatial-mode diode. The pump diode, which was originally developed for DVD-writers, provides 130 mW of output power at 660 nm with an efficiency of 30%. This simple pump source enables the construction of a Cr:LiSAF laser that (i) has an estimated total material cost below...
