We report on a gigahertz self-mode-locked high-order Hermite-Gaussian (HG) Nd:GdVO(4) laser. With a pump power of 2.2 W, the average output power for the TEM(0,m) modes from m=9 to m=0 are among 350-780 mW at a repetition rate of 3.5 GHz. The mode-locked pulse width is in the range of 20-25 ps for various HG TEM(0,m) modes. With a simple cylindrical-lens converter, the mode-locked HG beams are converted to generate picosecond optical vortex pulses.
我们报告了一种千兆赫兹自锁模高阶厄米-高斯(HG)Nd:GdVO(4)激光。在 2.2 W 的泵浦功率下,从 m=9 到 m=0 的 TEM(0,m)模式的平均输出功率在 3.5 GHz 的重复率下为 350-780 mW。各种 HG TEM(0,m)模式的锁模脉冲宽度在 20-25 ps 范围内。通过简单的圆柱透镜转换器,可以将锁模 HG 光束转换为产生皮秒光涡旋脉冲。
