This study reports the first mode-locking results of a Cr:LiSAF laser near the 1 µm region, using a SESAM for mode-locking and generating high-quality sub-200 fs pulses. The pulse characteristics were further improved through dispersion optimization and wavelength tuning.
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first mode-locking results of a Cr:LiSAF laser near the 1 mu M region. The system is pumped only by a single 1.1 W high-brightness tapered diode laser at 675 nm. A semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) with a modulation depth of 1.5% and non-saturable losses below 0.5% was used for mode-locking. Once mode-locked, the Cr:LiSAF laser produced almost-transform-limited sub-200-fs pulses with up to 12.5 mW of average power at a repetition rate of 150 MHz. Using an intracavity birefringent filter, the central wavelength of the pulses could be smoothly tuned in the 1000-1020 nm range. Via careful dispersion optimization, pulse widths could be reduced down to the 110-fs level. The performance in this initial study was limited by the design parameters of the SESAM used, especially its passive losses and could be improved with an optimized SESAM design.
