Generation of subpicosecond pulses from a continuous-wave mode-locked Nd:YAG laser using a two-stage optical compression technique.

چکیده
By using a two-stage optical-fiber grating pair pulse-compression technique, 1.06-microm pulses as short as 0.7 psec have been obtained from an actively mode-locked cw Nd:YAG laser. This represents an overall pulse-compression ratio of 113.

Picosecond pulses from wavelength-swept continuous-wave Fourier domain mode-locked lasers.
Ultrafast lasers have a crucial function in many fields of science; however, up to now, high-energy pulses directly from compact, efficient and low-power semiconductor lasers are not available. Therefore, we introduce a new approach based on temporal compression of the continuous-wave, wavelength-swept output of Fourier domain mode-locked lasers, where a narrowband optical filter is tuned synch...
متن کاملTunable subpicosecond dye laser amplified at 1 kHz by a cavity - dumped , Q - switched , and mode - locked Nd : YAG laser
Tunable subpicosecond pulses are generated by synchronously pumping a dye laser with the pulse-compressed and frequency-doubled output of an acousto-optically mode-locked cw Nd:YAG laser. The pulses are amplified at a repetition rate of 1 kHz, using the frequency-doubled output of a cavity-dumped, acousto-optically mode-locked, Qswitched, cw pumped Nd:YAG laser. Amplified transform-limited puls...
متن کاملMulti-wavelength, all-solid-state, continuous wave mode locked picosecond Raman laser.
We demonstrate the operation of a cascaded continuous wave (CW) mode-locked Raman oscillator. The output pulses were compressed from 28 ps at 532 nm down to 6.5 ps at 559 nm (first Stokes) and 5.5 ps at 589 nm (second Stokes). The maximum output was 2.5 W at 559 nm and 1.4 W at 589 nm with slope efficiencies up to 52%. This technique allows simple and efficient generation of short-pulse radiati...
متن کاملHigh-power parametric amplification of 11.8-fs laser pulses with carrier-envelope phase control.
Phase-stable parametric chirped-pulse amplification of ultrashort pulses from a carrier-envelope phase-stabilized mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillator (11.0 fs) to 0.25 mJ/pulse at 1 kHz is demonstrated. Compression with a grating compressor and a LCD shaper yields near-Fourier-limited 11.8-fs pulses with an energy of 0.12 mJ. The amplifier is pumped by 532-nm pulses from a synchronized mode-lock...
متن کاملSubpicosecond monolithic colliding-pulse mode-locked multiple quantum well lasers
Generation of short optical pulses with semiconductor laser diodes is important for high bit rate time-division multiplexed communication systems, ultrafast data processing, and picosecond optoelectronic applications. Because the pulse shaping mechanisms are determined by the saturation and recovery time of the gain and absorber sections in mode-locked lasers,’ it is possible to generate short ...
