Abstract

We first report on a diode-end-pumped passively Q-switched mode-locking Tm,Ho:LLF laser at 2053 nm by using a Cr:ZnS saturable absorber. A stable Q-switched mode-locking pulse train with a nearly 100% modulation depth was achieved. The repetition frequency of the Q-switched pulse envelope increased from 0.5 to 12.3 kHz with increasing pump power from 1 to 4.36 W. The maximum average output power of 145 mW was obtained, and the width of the mode-locked pulse was estimated to be less than 682 ps with a 250 MHz repetition frequency within a Q-switched pulse envelope of about 700 ns.
