PASSIVE MODE-LOCKING OF A ND-YAP LASER AT 1.3414 MU-M BY USING A CONVEX-ANTIRESONANT RING UNSTABLE RESONATOR

摘要

The colliding pulse mode-locking of Nd:YAP lasers which have a plane-convex unstable resonator was investigated at 1.3414 mu m. The experimental results showed that the mode-locked output energy reached 57.3 mJ (the biggest pulse in the pulse train was more than 8 mJ), with pulse duration of 78.7 ps. The stability of the dye solution was also investigated. [References: 13]
