Popis: | The all solid-state combination of a saturable Bragg mirror for amplitude modulation and a cascaded chi((2)):chi((2)) nonlinearity (phase-mismatched second harmonic crystal) as an axial-mode phase locker for continuous-wave mode locking of large mode area lasers is investigated. The dual-passive mode-locking technique generates extremely stable sub-10ps sech(2) pulses at 76MHz from a ~6W, TEM(00)-mode, diode-pumped, thermal-lens-shaped, Brewster Nd:GdVO(4) laser. |
