چکیده
We demonstrate a diode-pumped Cr:LiSAF laser with controllable and reliable fast switching between its continuous-wave and mode-locked states of operation using an optically-addressed semiconductor Bragg reflector, permitting dyed microspheres to be continuously trapped and monitored using a standard microscope imaging and on-demand two-photon-excited luminescence techniques.

Compact 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...

متن کاملStabilization techniques and silicon-germanium saturable absorbers for high repetition rate mode-locked lasers
The monolithic integration of passively mode-locked solid-state lasers at highest repetition rates has been prevented by Q-switching instabilities and the lack of integrable saturable absorbers to date. In this thesis we demonstrate in theory and experiment that active feedback electronics controlling the intracavity loss of the laser is capable of suppressing the Q-switching instability. We in...
متن کاملPassive harmonic mode-locked soliton fiber laser stabilized by an optically pumped saturable Bragg reflector.
Stabilization of passive harmonic mode locking is achieved for what is believed to be the first time in an Er-Yb soliton fiber laser by optical pumping of the semiconductor saturable absorber above the bandgap. The results show 35-dB mode suppression of undesired harmonics.
