    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
