Prismless diode-pumped mode-locked femtosecond Cr:LiSAF laser
Abstract
A diode-pumped saturable Bragg reflector (SBR) mode-locked Cr:LiSAF laser is demonstrated which requires only a single Gires-Tournois interferometer (GTI) mirror for dispersion compensation. This extremely compact laser produced stable 94 fs pulses with an output power of 110 mW at a wavelength of 848 nm when pumped by 660 mW of light from two broad area red diode lasers.
