LD pumped Nd:Lu2SiO5 passively mode-locked laser with a SESAM

The passive mode locking performance of a LD‐end‐pumped Nd:Lu2SiO5 laser is experimentally investigated for the first time. The passive mode locking of the laser is initiated with a semiconductor saturable absorption mirror (SESAM). Stable mode‐locked pulses with 12.3 ps pulse width, 148.3 MHz repet...

Description
Summary:The passive mode locking performance of a LD‐end‐pumped Nd:Lu2SiO5 laser is experimentally investigated for the first time. The passive mode locking of the laser is initiated with a semiconductor saturable absorption mirror (SESAM). Stable mode‐locked pulses with 12.3 ps pulse width, 148.3 MHz repetition rate, and 1.42 W average output power have been demonstrated.
