    Graphene mode-locked Tm,Ho-codoped crystalline garnet laser producing 70-fs pulses near 21 µm
    (Washington, DC : OSA, 2019) Zhao, Yongguang; Chen, Weidong; Wang, Li; Wang, Yicheng; Pan, Zhongben; Dai, Xiaojun; Yuan, Hualei; Cai, Huaqiang; Zhang, Yan; Bae, Ji Eun; Park, Tae Gwan; Rotermund, Fabian; Loiko, Pavel; Serres, Josep Maria; Mateos, Xavier; Shen, Deyuan; Griebner, Uwe; Petrov, Valentin
    Bilayer graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition is successfully applied as a saturable absorber (SA) for the passive mode-locking of a Tm,Ho:CLNGG laser at 2093nm. Near transform-limited pulses as short as 70 fs, i.e., 10 optical cycles, are produced at a 89 MHz repetition rate with 69 mW average output power. To the best of our knowledge, these are the shortest pulses ever reported from graphene-SA mode-locked Tm, or Ho-lasers in the 2 µm spectral region, including bulk and fiber lasers.

    We report on sub-30 fs pulse generation from a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror mode-locked Yb:YAP laser. Pumping by a spatially single-mode Yb fiber laser at 979 nm, soliton pulses as short as 29 fs were generated at 1091 nm with an average output power of 156 mW and a pulse repetition rate of 85.1 MHz. The maximum output power of the mode-locked Yb:YAP laser amounted to 320 mW for slightly longer pulses (32 fs) at an incident pump power of 1.52 W, corresponding to a peak power of 103 kW and an optical efficiency of 20.5%. To the best of our knowledge, this result represents the shortest pulses ever achieved from any solid-state Yb laser mode-locked by a slow, i.e., physical saturable absorber.
