| Popis: | Using synchronous pumping with ∽100 ps wide 1.32 μm Nd 3+ :YAG laser pulses, we realize mode-locked KCl:Na + :O - 2 (F + 2 ) AH color center laser operation with nearly transform limited ∽5–10 ps wide pulses throughout a 1.73–2.10 μm tuning range. Pulses shorten continuously with increasing pump power levels. At maximum available pump power (∽2.3 W), average output power up to ∽380 mW is obtained in the peak of the tuning curve at 1.83 μm. Pulse shape and width measurements show that stable mode-locked operation is relatively insensitive towards cavity length detuning. |
