- ItemDiode-pumped continuous-wave laser operation of co-doped (Ho,Tm):KLu(WO4)2 monoclinic crystal(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2013) Jambunathan, V.; Mateos, X.; Cinta Pujol, M.; Josep Carvajal, J.; Griebner, U.; Petrov, V.; Aguiló, M.; Díaz, F.We report on room-temperature continuous-wave laser operation at 2.06 μm in co-doped (0.5 at% Ho, 5.0 at% Tm):KLu(WO4)2 monoclinic crystal pumped at 805 nm by a commercially available AlGaAs diode laser stack. A maximum output power of 93 mW and a slope efficiency of 14.7% with respect to absorbed power were achieved.
- ItemWavelength-versatile graphene-gold film saturable absorber mirror for ultra-broadband mode-locking of bulk lasers(London : Nature Publishing Group, 2014) Ma, J.; Xie, G.; Lv, P.; Gao, W.; Yuan, P.; Qian, L.; Griebner, U.; Petrov, V.; Yu, H.; Zhang, H.; Wang, J.An ultra-broadband graphene-gold film saturable absorber mirror (GG-SAM) with a spectral coverage exceeding 1300 nm is experimentally demonstrated for mode-locking of bulk solid-state lasers. Owing to the p-type doping effect caused by graphene-gold film interaction, the graphene on gold-film substrate shows a remarkably lower light absorption relative to pristine graphene, which is very helpful to achieve continuous-wave mode-locking in low-gain bulk lasers. Using the GG-SAM sample, stable mode-locking is realized in a Yb:YCOB bulk laser near 1 μm, a Tm:CLNGG bulk laser near 2 μm and a Cr:ZnSe bulk laser near 2.4 μm. The saturable absorption is characterised at an intermediate wavelength of 1.56 μm by pump-probe measurements. The as-fabricated GG-SAM with ultra-broad bandwidth, ultrafast recovery time, low absorption, and low cost has great potential as a universal saturable absorber mirror for mode-locking of various bulk lasers with unprecedented spectral coverage.
