We report the characterization of a synchronously-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) femtosecond Cr4+:forsterite laser, generating 66 fs pulses at 1240 nm, with 200 mW output power. The influence of the induced thermal lensing on the fast Kerr modulation is analysed by a simple model, which shows that the conventional criteria employed for KLM optimization of Ti:sapphire must be revised when considering the strong thermal effects induced in the Cr4+:forsterite crystal. Indications from our simple model agree with the experimental results.

Abstract

We report the characterization of a synchronously-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) femtosecond Cr4+:forsterite laser, generating 66 fs pulses at 1240 nm, with 200 mW output power. The influence of the induced thermal lensing on the fast Kerr modulation is analysed by a simple model, which shows that the conventional criteria employed for KLM optimization of Ti:sapphire must be revised when considering the strong thermal effects induced in the Cr4+:forsterite crystal. Indications from our simple model agree with the experimental results.

Applied Physics/Condensed Matter/Materials Science encompasses the resources of three related disciplines: Applied Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Materials Science. The applied physics resources are concerned with the applications of topics in condensed matter as well as optics, vacuum science, lasers, electronics, cryogenics, magnets and magnetism, acoustical physics and mechanics. The condensed matter physics resources are concerned with the study of the structure and the thermal, mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of condensed matter. They include superconductivity, surfaces, interfaces, thin films, dielectrics, ferroelectrics and semiconductors. The materials science resources are concerned with the physics and chemistry of materials and include ceramics, composites, alloys, metals and metallurgy, nanotechnology, nuclear materials, adhesion and adhesives. Resources dealing with polymeric materials are listed in the Organic Chemistry/Polymer Science category.
