Abstract

Additive-pulse mode locking is recognized as a efficient method for the passive mode locking of lasers with long upper-state lifetimes (>100 ns).1–5 This mode-locking technique, coupled with the development of high-power AlGaAs laser diodes operating in the near-infrared spectral region has seen a resurgence of interest in Nd-doped laser active gain media as sources of ultrashort pulses. To date, most of the research has been directed at the development of mode-locked lasers oscillating on the 1.06-μm transition of the Nd ion.2-4 Here we describe the additive-pulse mode locking of a Nd:YLF laser operating on the 1.3-μm transition.
