Achieving high-power mode-locking in Ti:sapphire lasers is a challenge, but through spectral combination, an output power of 1W and a pulse energy of 14.5nJ have been successfully demonstrated.
The achievement of a high average power exceeding 1 W remains a major challenge for direct-diode pumped and mode-locked femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers. Herein, we demonstrate high-power soliton-like pulses from a direct spectrally combined three-diode-pumped and semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM)-based mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. Its mode-locked output power of up to 1 W was obtained in correspondence with a 68.8 MHz repetition rate and 55 fs pulse duration; thus, the pulse energy and peak power are 14.5 nJ and 264 kW, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest reported output power and pulse energy from a Ti:sapphire laser with three spectrally combined pump diodes (471 nm, 491 nm, and 525 nm) and a simple beam expander. For efficient pumping, the combined pump beam, directed into the lens (f = 60 mm), which comprised three aspheric lenses along the fast axis and a shared cylindrical beam telescope (8x magnification) along the slow axis, resulting in a circular-focused beam in the Ti:sapphire crystal. The beam waist was measured to be 39 mu m x38 mu m along the slow and fast axes. (C) 2021 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
