Abstract

In recent years the combination of laser-diode-pumping with the technique of additive-pulse mode-locking (A.PM) has allowed the development of highly efficient, stable, compact sources of mode-locked pulses in the picosecond regime.^1,2 We report the development of an APM laser-diode-pumped Nd_xLa_1-xMgAl₁₁O₁₉ (Nd:LMA) laser capable of generating pulses as short as 400 fsec. Nd:LMA is a laser material whose broad absorption around 800 nm, and broad fluorescence linewidth (~1.3 THz) centered at 1054 nm make it an ideal candidate for both laser-diode-pumping and short pulse generation via mode-locking.₃
