Diode-pumped tunable laser with dual Cr：LiSAF rods

We propose and demonstrate a simple approach to lower the thermal quenching effect and improve the output power of Cr:LiSAF lasers, which is accomplished by employing two laser rods. The resonator contains two laser rods and is designed by using two ``X' folding cavities in cascade. A tunable laser output of $\sim $ 180\,mW has been achieved with the pump of single-striped laser diodes. Compared with lasers using single gain rod, the laser with dual rods shows less severe thermal effect and increases the output by more than two times.

Broadly tunable femtosecond Cr:LiSAF laser

We demonstrate wavelength tunability of femtosecond pulses over a range of more than 50 nm from a diode-pumped Cr:LiSAF laser. The mode-locking mechanism can be explained by soliton mode locking that is started and stabilized by a broadband semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror designed for low loss over the full reflection bandwidth of the underlying Bragg mirrors, which ultimately limits tunability. We obtain 45-fs pulses at 105-mW average output power and a maximum mode-locked average output power of 125 mW with 60-fs pulses.

Pump efficiency and beam quality control in an end-pumped Cr:LiSAF laser

The laser radiation production in an end-pumped laser requires taking into consideration the following: (a) the optical pumping system, (b) the thermal and spectroscopic characteristics of the gain medium, (c) the mode overlap, and (d) the interaction with the optical resonator. The correlation between the previous four factors is needed to guide the design and evaluation of such a laser system. This suggestion is a better methodology than focusing the discussion on only one factor of the system ignoring interactions. Here, we use these arguments to supervise the complete process with a one-watt pump-diode laser largely astigmatic and a Cr:LiSAF gain medium highlighting the importance between interactions.     

Timing-jitter reduction of a mode-locked Cr:LiSAF laser by simultaneous control of cavity length and pump power

The pulse-repetition frequency of a mode-locked Cr:LiSAF laser has been stabilized to an electrical reference signal by simultaneous control of the laser cavity length and the pump power. The phase difference between the laser pulse and an electrical reference signal is detected by use of a digital phase detector and fed back to a piezoelectric transducer and to a laser diode injection current.
