Abstract:
We report on a diode-pumped CW passively mode locked ceramic Nd:YAG laser with SESAM (semiconductor saturable absorber mirror), wavelength 1064nm. At a pump power of 7.6w, the pulse width was estimated to be ~8.3ps with repetition rate ~130MHz and the average output power was 1.59w. To our knowledge, this was the first demonstration that ceramic Nd:YAG was used for diode pumped CW passively mode locking.
