An actively mode-locked continuous wave Nd:phosphate glass laser oscillator and regenerative amplifier

The performance is described of a continuous-wave actively mode-locked Nd:phosphate glass laser oscillator and a high-repetition-rate Nd:phosphate glass regenerative amplifier. Pulses as short as 7 ps at 1.054 mu m have been generated at a 100-MHz repetition rate from the laser oscillator. The oscil...

Description
Summary:The performance is described of a continuous-wave actively mode-locked Nd:phosphate glass laser oscillator and a high-repetition-rate Nd:phosphate glass regenerative amplifier. Pulses as short as 7 ps at 1.054 mu m have been generated at a 100-MHz repetition rate from the laser oscillator. The oscillator output has been amplified by 2*10/sup 5/ to 5 mu J/pulse at a repetition rate of 500 Hz.< >
