- ItemGraphene Q-switched Yb:KYW planar waveguide laser(New York, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2015) Kim, Jun Wan; Young Choi, Sun; Aravazhi, Shanmugam; Pollnau, Markus; Griebner, Uwe; Petrov, Valentin; Bae, Sukang; Jun Ahn, Kwang; Yeom, Dong-Il; Rotermund, FabianA diode-pumped Yb:KYW planar waveguide laser, single-mode Q-switched by evanescent-field interaction with graphene, is demonstrated for the first time. Few-layer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition is transferred onto the top of a guiding layer, which initiates stable Q-switched operation in a 2.4-cm-long waveguide laser operating near 1027 nm. Average output powers up to 34 mW and pulse durations as short as 349 ns are achieved. The measured output beam profile, clearly exhibiting a single mode, agrees well with the theoretically calculated mode intensity distribution inside the waveguide. As the pump power is increased, the repetition rate and pulse energy increase from 191 to 607 kHz and from 7.4 to 58.6 nJ, respectively, whereas the pulse duration decreases from 2.09 μs to 349 ns.
- ItemGraphene 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, ValentinBilayer 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.
