Abstract

The high-power semiconductor laser studied here is a modelocked integrated external-cavity surface emitting laser (MIXSEL), which combines the gain of vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) with the saturable absorber of a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) in a single semiconductor layer stack. The MIXSEL concept allows for stable and self-starting fundamental passive modelocking in a simple straight cavity and the average power scaling is based on the semiconductor disk laser concept. Previously record-high average output power from an optically pumped MIXSEL was demonstrated, however the long pulse duration of 17 ps prevented higher pulse repetition rates and many interesting applications such as supercontinuum generation and broadband frequency comb generation. With a novel MIXSEL structure, the first femtosecond operation was then demonstrated just recently. Here we show that such a MIXSEL can also support pulse repetition rate scaling from ≈5 GHz to >100 GHz with excellent beam quality and high average output power, by mechanically changing the cavity length of the linear straight cavity and the output coupler. Up to a pulse repetition rate of 15 GHz we obtained average output power >1 W and pulse durations <4 ps. Furthermore we have been able to demonstrate the highest pulse repetition rate from any fundamentally modelocked semiconductor disk laser with 101.2 GHz at an average output power of 127 mW and a pulse duration of 570 fs.

摘要

这里所研究的高功率半导体激光器是一种锁模集成外腔面发射激光器(MIXSEL),它在单个半导体层堆叠结构中,将垂直外腔面发射激光器(VECSEL)的增益与半导体可饱和吸收镜(SESAM)的可饱和吸收体结合在一起。MIXSEL概念允许在简单的直腔中实现稳定且自启动的基本被动锁模,并且平均功率扩展是基于半导体盘激光器概念。此前已展示了光泵浦MIXSEL创纪录的高平均输出功率,然而17皮秒的长脉冲持续时间阻碍了更高的脉冲重复频率以及许多诸如超连续谱产生和宽带频率梳产生等有趣的应用。最近,采用一种新颖的MIXSEL结构首次实现了飞秒运转。在此我们表明,通过机械改变线性直腔的腔长和输出耦合器,这样的MIXSEL还能够支持脉冲重复频率从约5吉赫兹扩展至大于100吉赫兹,同时具有优异的光束质量和高平均输出功率。在高达15吉赫兹的脉冲重复频率下,我们获得了大于1瓦的平均输出功率以及小于4皮秒的脉冲持续时间。此外,我们还能够展示任何基本锁模半导体盘激光器的最高脉冲重复频率,在平均输出功率为127毫瓦且脉冲持续时间为570飞秒时达到101.2吉赫兹。
