    • Broadly tunable femtosecond mode-locking in a Tm:KYW laser near 2 μm 

      Lagatsky, A. A.; Calvez, S.; Gupta, J. A.; Kisel, V. E.; Kuleshov, N. V.; Brown, C. T. A.; Dawson, M. D.; Sibbett, W. (Optical Society of America, 2011)
      Efficient mode-locking in a Tm:KY(WO4)(2) laser is demonstrated by using InGaAsSb quantum-well SESAMs. Self-starting ultrashort pulse generation was realized in the 1979-2074 nm spectral region. Maximum average output power up to 411 mW was produced around 1986 nm with the corresponding pulse duration and repetition rate of 549 fs and 105 MHz respectively. Optimised pulse durations ...

    • Femtosecond pulse operation of a Tm,Ho-codoped crystalline laser near 2 μm 

      Lagatsky, A. A.; Fusari, F.; Calvez, S.; Kurilchik, S. V.; Kisel, V. E.; Kuleshov, N. V.; Dawson, M. D.; Brown, C. T. A.; Sibbett, W. (Optical Society of America, 2010)
      We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, femtosecond-regime mode locking of a Tm,Ho-codoped crystalline laser operating in the 2 μm spectral region. Transform-limited 570 fs pulses were generated at 2055 nm by a Tm,Ho:KY(WO4)2 laser that produced an average output power of 130 mW at a pulse repetition frequency of 118 MHz. Mode locking was achieved using an ion-implanted ...

    • Micro-joule cavity-dumped wavelength-tunable semiconductor disk laser 

      Savitski, V. G.; Calvez, S.; Dawson, M. D. (БНТУ, 2010)
      We report on cavity-dumping of a semiconductor disk laser as a method to generate energetic wavelength-tunable nanosecond pulses with repetition rates ranging from 0.1 to 4MHz. Experimentally, emission of 24ns pulses with peak output power of 41W in a single beam output (and of 30ns with peak power of 57W in a combined beam output) with wavelength tuning from 1045–1080nm was ...

    • Passive mode locking of a Tm,Ho:KY(WO4)2 laser around 2 μm 

      Lagatsky, A. A.; Fusari, F.; Calvez, S.; Gupta, J. A.; Kisel, V. E.; Kuleshov, N. V.; Brown, C. T. A.; Dawson, M. D.; Sibbett, W. (Optical Society of America, 2009)
      We report the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of passive mode locking in a Tm3+, Ho3+-codoped KY(WO4)2 laser operating in the 2000-2060 nm spectral region. An InGaAsSb-based quantum well semiconductor saturable absorber mirror is used for the initiation and stabilization of the ultrashort pulse generation. Pulses as short as 3.3 ps were generated at 2057 nm with average ...
