Passive mode locking of Yb:KLuW using a single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Mode locking of an Yb-doped bulk laser in the 1μm spectral range using a single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA) is demonstrated for the first time, to our knowledge. Passive mode locking of an Yb:KLuW laser resulted in nearly transform-limited pulses as short as 115fs at 1048nm. In addition, the nonlinear response of the SWCNT-SA was measured, yielding a modulation depth of 0.25% and a relaxation time of 750fs.
