We report the development of compact, efficiently diode-pumped Nd:YAG and Nd:YAlO3 lasers in a pulsed regime, mode locked by a nonlinear mirror (NLM) technique. Pumping with an 80-W single-bar diode array at a repetition rate as high as 200 Hz and depending on the NLM configuration, trains of 20–100 pulses, with 25-ps pulses with energies as high as 9 μJ each, are generated. These novel pulsed picosecond sources show excellent amplitude stability (<2% amplitude fluctuation) and beam quality. Numerical simulations of the pulse-formation dynamics are presented, and the results are compared with the experiments.

Abstract

We report the development of compact, efficiently diode-pumped Nd:YAG and Nd:YAlO3 lasers in a pulsed regime, mode locked by a nonlinear mirror (NLM) technique. Pumping with an 80-W single-bar diode array at a repetition rate as high as 200 Hz and depending on the NLM configuration, trains of 20–100 pulses, with 25-ps pulses with energies as high as 9 μJ each, are generated. These novel pulsed picosecond sources show excellent amplitude stability (<2% amplitude fluctuation) and beam quality. Numerical simulations of the pulse-formation dynamics are presented, and the results are compared with the experiments.

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.
