چکیده
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 experiments also revealed a very broad tunability from 1032 to 1046 nm with sub-200 fs pulses.

متن کاملHigh Energy/High Repetition Rate Laser Pulses from Yb Based Solid State Oscillators with Cavity-Dumping and Regenerative Amplifiers
Various scientific and industrial laser applications profit from the latest progress of directly diode pumped high-power femtosecond oscillators, in particular applications such as laser micromachining, nonlinear spectroscopy, or laser surgery. These oscillators provide pulse energies in the microjoule regime at 100 kHz to megahertz repetition rates, replacing complex and expensive chirpedpulse...
متن کامل260-megahertz, megawatt-level thin-disk oscillator.
A Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Yb:YAG thin-disk oscillator delivering 215-fs pulses with 75-W average power and 1.4-MW peak power at a repetition rate of 260 MHz is presented. Self-starting KLM is demonstrated at an output power of 68 W. This is the highest repetition rate of any mode-locked thin-disk oscillators so far. Concepts for scaling the repetition rate up to 1 GHz are discussed.
متن کاملPump-seed synchronization for MHz repetition rate, high-power optical parametric chirped pulse amplification.
We report on an active synchronization between two independent mode-locked lasers using a combined electronic-optical feedback. With this scheme, seed pulses at MHz repetition rate were amplified in a non-collinear optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA). The amplifier was seeded with stretched 1.5 nJ pulses from a femtosecond Ti:Sapphire oscillator, while pumped with the 1 ps, 2.9 µ...
