Abstract

We present a novel high-power, self-starting mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser with a semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror as the starter element. This laser, whose slope efficiency is 22%, generates pulses with an average power as high as 1.7 W and a pulse width as short as 16 fs. The self-starting process is also investigated.

摘要

我们展示了一种新型的高功率、自启动锁模钛宝石激光器，它以半导体可饱和吸收镜作为启动元件。该激光器的斜率效率为22%，能产生平均功率高达1.7W且脉宽短至16fs的脉冲。我们还研究了其自启动过程。
