Mode-locked operation of Nd:silicate glass with both single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT-SAM) and semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAM) has been investigated. SWCNT-SAM mode-locking has been optimized in Nd-doped bulk lasers for the first time, yielding 99-fs pulses at 1070 nm. Using a SESAM for comparison pulses as short as 87 fs and a tuning range of 30 nm was achieved. Related to the applied 200-mW single-mode laser diode as pump source the lasers were characterized by high efficiency and low threshold. The optimized low-power pump setup yielded a remarkable slope efficiency of 46.5% in the cw regime.

Abstract

Mode-locked operation of Nd:silicate glass with both single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT-SAM) and semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAM) has been investigated. SWCNT-SAM mode-locking has been optimized in Nd-doped bulk lasers for the first time, yielding 99-fs pulses at 1070 nm. Using a SESAM for comparison pulses as short as 87 fs and a tuning range of 30 nm was achieved. Related to the applied 200-mW single-mode laser diode as pump source the lasers were characterized by high efficiency and low threshold. The optimized low-power pump setup yielded a remarkable slope efficiency of 46.5% in the cw regime.

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.
