Abstract

We report a passively mode-locked picosecond ytterbium-doped fiber laser operating in the normal dispersion regime, tunable over 70 nm around 1.05 μm. Mode-locking operation is achieved through a free-space coupled semiconductor saturable absorber. An external grating in Littrow configuration is used for both tuning and mode-locked stabilization through spectral filtering. Pulse duration of 19 ps with pulse repetition rates below 20 MHz is obtained with a maximum average output power of 1.5 mW.

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.
