By using a-cut Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 mixed crystal as laser gain medium, a diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) laser with a GaAs saturable absorber in a Z-type folded cavity is demonstrated for the first time. The Q-switched mode-locked laser pulses with about 90% modulation depth are obtained as long as the pump power reached the oscillation threshold. The repetition rate of the passively Q-switched pulse envelope ranges from 50 to 186 kHz as the pump power increases from 0.915 to 6.520 W. Under an incident pump power of 6.52 W, the QML pulses with the largest average output power of 694 mW, the shortest pulse width of 200 ns and the highest pulse energy of 3.73 μJ are obtained. The mode-locked pulse width inside the Q-switched envelope is estimated to be about 275 ps. The experimental results show that Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 is a promising mixed crystal for QML laser.  相似文献

By using mixed crystal Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 as laser medium, KTP as frequency-doubling crystal, a diode-pumped intracavity-frequency-doubled Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4/KTP green laser with acousto-optic (AO) modulator and central semiconductor saturable absorption mirror (C-SESAM) is realized by using a V-type cavity. The QML laser characteristics such as the pulse width, single-pulse energy, have been measured for different modulation frequencies of the AO modulator. In comparison with the singly passively QML green laser with central SESAM, the doubly QML green laser can generate more stable and shorter pulses with higher peak power. Based on the coupled rate equations for a diode-pumped doubly QML green laser with AO and C-SESAM, in which the saturated absorption mechanism of C-SESAM is considered, the recurrence relation of the relative amplitude of the mode-locking pulses is given and the related numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results.  相似文献

A diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 laser with a GaAs output coupler is demonstrated. By using a mixed crystal Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 as laser medium, the passively Q-switched laser can generate shorter pulse width with higher peak power in comparison with the passively Q-switched Nd:LuVO4 or Nd:YVO4 lasers under the same laser cavity. At the incident pump power 11.9 W, the minimum pulse width of 3.23 ns and the maximum peak power 1.67 kW can be obtained. The average output power and the pulse repetition rate of the laser are also measured. The experimental results show that the mixed crystal is a promising laser medium for shorter Q-switched pulse with higher peak power.  相似文献

By using acousto-optic (AO) modulator as active Q-switch, the diode-pumped actively Q-switched Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 and Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 lasers are realized. The average output power and the pulse width under different AO repetition rates are measured. The actively Q-switched laser performances for two kind mixed crystals are compared for the first time. The experimental results show that the actively Q-switched Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 laser can generate shorter pulse width with higher peak power in comparison with the actively Q-switched Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 laser. Due to broader fluorescence line-width, the triple-mixed crystal Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 is a promising laser medium for shorter Q-switched pulse with higher peak power.  相似文献

A diode-pumped dual-loss-modulated Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 laser at 1.34 μm with single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA) and acousto-optic (AO) modulator is demonstrated. The modulation depth of the dual-loss-modulated QML laser reaches 90%, being deeper than 75% that obtained by the single passively QML laser. The stability of the hybrid QML laser is significantly improved if compared to that only with SWCNT-SA. The Q-switched pulse energy and the Q-switched pulse width of the QML laser with the dual-loss-modulation are 487 and 27% of those only with SWCNT-SA, respectively.  相似文献

A diode-pumped dual-loss-modulated Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 laser with acousto-optic (AO) modulator and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber is presented. The stable QML laser pulse with high peak power and complete modulation depth has been obtained. The QML laser characteristics such as the pulse width, single-pulse energy etc. have been measured for different small-signal transmissions (T 0) of Cr4+:YAG, different reflectivity (R) of output coupler and modulation frequencies of the AO modulator (f p ). The results show that the pulse energy increases with decreasing f p and increasing T 0, while the pulse width decreases with decreasing f p and increasing T 0. At f p = 10 kHz, R = 90%, and T 0 = 91%, the highest pulse energy and peak power of mode-locked pulses is obtained.  相似文献

The maximum continuous wave (CW) output power of 5.53 W is achieved at the incident pump power of 14.09 W with the transmission of 10% for the output coupler, resulting in an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 39.2%. For Q-switching operation, the shortest pulse width of 8.3 ns and the highest peak power of 259 kW are generated under the incident pump power of 14.09 W at 1 kHz.  相似文献

The hybrid Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) operation of Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 crystal at 1.34 ??m with V:YAG saturable absorber and acousto-optic (AO) modulator has been realized. The laser characteristics are distinctly improved by the hybrid QML if compared to those with the single V:YAG QML. At the pump power of 5.04 W, the Q-switched pulse energy is enlarged to 5.6 times and the Q-switched pulse width is shortened to 40% by the AO modulator in contrast to those of the single passively QML.  相似文献

The laser is shown to generate shorter pulse width than AO Q-switched laser alone, and have a higher peak power and single pulse energy than passively Q-switched laser with only Cr4+:YAG. A laser pulse width of 6.16 ns and a peak power of about 43.83 kW are achieved at the incident pumping power of 14.09 W.  相似文献

By using the mixed crystals Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4, Nd:Lu0.5Y0.5VO4 and Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 as laser media, the LD pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) lasers with GaAs saturable absorber are realized. The average output power, the pulse width and the repetition rates have been measured and compared. The experimental results show that the passively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 laser can generate shorter pulse width with higher peak power due to broader fluorescence line-width. By considering the Gaussian distribution of the intracavity photon density and the influence of the continuous pump rate, the coupled rate equations for QML lasers with GaAs saturable absorber are given. The theoretical solutions of the equations are in agreement with the experimental results.  相似文献

Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 crystal is a new triple-mixed vanadate crystal and has broader fluorescence line-width. By using electro-optic (EO) modulator as active Q-switch, a diode-pumped actively Q-switched Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 laser is realized for the first time. The average output power and the pulse width under different EO repetition rates are measured. The experimental results show that the actively Q-switched Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 laser can generate shorter pulse width with higher peak power. Due to broader fluorescence line-width, the triple-mixed crystal Nd:Lu0.33Y0.37Gd0.3VO4 is a promising laser medium for the Q-switched laser.  相似文献

By using both the single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA) and the electro-optic (EO) modulator, the stably doubly Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) operation of Nd:Gd0.3Lu0.33Y0.37VO4 laser has been demonstrated. The QML laser characteristics such as the pulse width, single-pulse energy, etc., have been measured for different modulation frequencies of the EO modulator (fe) and reflectivity (R) of output coupler. In comparison with the solely passively QML laser with SWCNT-SA, the experimental results show that the doubly QML laser can generate more stable and shorter pulses with higher pulse energy. At 9.24 W pump power, fe=1 kHz and R=93.5%, the doubly QML laser has compressed the Q-switched envelope pulse width 88% and improved the mode-locked pulsed energy 55 times.  相似文献

A new three-matrix mixed vanadate crystal Nd:Lu0.33Y0.36Gd0.3VO4 (Nd:LuYGdVO4) crystal was grown by the Czochralski method. Room temperature absorption and fluorescence spectra of the Nd:LuYGdVO4 crystals were measured and the spectroscopic parameters were calculated by the Judd-Ofelt theory. The intensity parameters of the Nd:LuYGdVO4 crystal were Ω2 = 9.736 × 10−20 cm2, Ω4 = 4.179 × 10−20 cm2, Ω6 = 8.020 × 10−20 cm2 and the stimulate emission cross section was 5.3 × 10−19 cm2. Diodepumped actively Q-switched and passively Q-switched Nd:LuYGdVO4 and Nd:Lu0.14Y0.86VO4 lasers at 1.06 μm were demonstrated. The results indicate that, for both actively and passively Q-switched lasers, the Nd:LuYGdVO4 lasers can generate shorter pulse width with higher peak power than the Nd:Lu0.14Y0.86VO4 lasers at the same cavity conditions.  相似文献

Performance comparisons of laser-diode pumped passively Q-switched intracavity-frequency-doubled Nd:Gd0.19Y0.81VO4 and Nd:Gd0.83Y0.17VO4 lasers at 671 nm are demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. KTP crystal is used as the frequency doubling material and V:YAG crystal as the saturable absorber with initial transmission of 89%. The dependences of average output power, pulse width, pulse repetition rate, single-pulse energy and peak power on incident pump power are measured and contrasted. The experimental results show that, Nd:Gd0.83Y0.17VO4 laser has more excellent properties than Nd:Gd0.19Y0.81VO4 laser at 671 nm.  相似文献

By using both acousto-optic (AO) modulator and GaAs saturable absorber, a diode-pumped doubly Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) YVO4/Nd:YVO4 laser is presented. The average output power and the pulse width of the Q-switched envelope have been measured. The Q-switch pulse energy of the doubly QML laser are higher than that only with GaAs. The stability of the QML laser with the dual-loss-modulation is significantly improved if compared to that only with GaAs.The experimental results show that the doubly QML YVO4/Nd:YVO4 laser has nearly 80% modulation depth and deeper than that of the singly passively QML pulse. The doubly Q-switched mode-locked pulse inside the Q-switched envelope has a repetition rate of 111 MHz and its pulse width is estimated to be about 700 ps. By using a hyperbolic secant square function and considering the Gaussian distribution of the intracavity photon density, the coupled equations for diode-pumped dual-loss-modulated QML laser is given and the numerical solutions of the equations are in good agreement with the experimental results.  相似文献

A diode-pumped Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) Nd:LuVO4/KTP green laser with acousto-optic modulator (AOM) and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber is presented. By inserting an AOM into the laser cavity, the stability of the QML green laser pulse with AO and Cr4+:YAG is improved, the modulation depth is increased and the pulse width of Q-switched pulse envelope is significantly compressed in comparison with that of the singly passively QML green laser with Cr4+:YAG. The experimental results show that the peak power of the doubly QML green laser pulse is much higher than that of the singly passively QML green laser pulse.  相似文献

By using both an acoustooptical (AO) modulator and a Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber in the cavity, a diode-pumped doubly Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 laser, which can generate short pulses with high peak powers and symmetric temporal profiles, has been demonstrated. A peak power of 3.05 kW with a corresponding pulse width of 16 ns has been achieved at an incident pump power of 7.7 W. A reasonable analysis about the experimental results has been given by considering the ground-state absorption and excited-state absorption of a Cr4+:YAG crystal.  相似文献

A compact diode-pumped doubly Q-switched extracavity frequency-doubled Nd:YVO4/KTP green-pulse laser was demonstrated, using both an acoustic-optic (AO) modulator and a GaAs saturable absorber in a simple flat-flat cavity. The green laser can generate a more symmetric and shorter pulse when compared with purely AO and passively Q-switched lasers. A peak power of 7.54 kW with the corresponding pulse width of 3.2 ns has been achieved with the incident pump power of 7.76 W and f p = 15 kHz. A reasonable analysis about the experimental results has been given.  相似文献

The Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) performance in a diode-pumped Nd:Lu0.2Y0.8VO4 laser with electro-optic (EO) modulator and GaAs saturaber absorber is investigated. In comparison with the solely passively QML laser with GaAs, the dual-loss-modulated QML laser with EO and GaAs can generate pulses with higher stability and shorter pulse width of Q-switched envelope, as well as higher pulse energy. At the repetition rate 1 kHz of EO, the pulse width of Q-switched pulse envelope has a compression of 89% and the pulse energy has an improvement of 24 times. The QML laser characteristics such as the pulse width, pulse peak power etc. have been measured for different small-signal transmittance (T0) of GaAs, different reflectivity (R) of output coupler and modulation frequencies of the EO modulator (fe). The highest peak power and the shortest pulse width of mode-locked pulses are obtained at fe = 1 kHz, R = 90% and T0 = 92.6%. By considering the influences of EO modulator, a developed rate equation model for the dual-loss-modulated QML laser with EO modulator and GaAs is proposed. The numerical solutions of the equations are in good agreement with the experimental results.  相似文献
