چکیده
We present a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror mode-locked thin disk laser based on Yb:Lu(2)O(3) with an average power of 141 W and an optical-to-optical efficiency of more than 40%. The ideal soliton pulses have an FWHM duration of 738 fs, an energy of 2.4 microJ, and a corresponding peak power of 2.8 MW. The repetition rate was 60 MHz and the beam was close to the diffraction limit with a measured M(2) below 1.2.

متن کاملFrontiers in passively mode-locked high-power thin disk laser oscillators.
Semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) mode-locked thin disk lasers define the state-of-the-art performance for high average power and high pulse energy femtosecond laser oscillators. To date pulse energies above 30 µJ and average powers above 140 W have been demonstrated. In this paper we review the achievements of mode-locked thin disk lasers in terms of average power and pulse energ...

متن کاملSESAMs for high-power femtosecond modelocking: power scaling of an Yb:LuScO₃ thin disk laser to 23 W and 235 fs.
We report on power scaling of a modelocked thin disk laser based on the broadband mixed sesquioxide material Yb:LuScO₃. One of the key elements to achieve this result was an improved SESAM design with reduced two-photon-absorption (TPA) and high damage threshold. In a first experiment, using a standard antiresonant SESAM with no topcoating, we could demonstrate record short pulse durations of 1...
متن کاملFemtosecond Yb:CaGdAlO4 thin-disk oscillator.
A mode-locked thin-disk laser based on Yb:CALGO is demonstrated for the first time. At an average output power of 28 W we obtained pulses with a duration of 300 fs and a pulse energy of 1.3 μJ. 197 fs pulses with 0.9 μJ of energy were achieved at an average output power of 20 W. The shortest pulse duration measured in our experiments was 135 fs with a spectrum centered at 1043 nm. The experimen...
