Narrowing spectral linewidth in passively mode-locked solid-state lasers

Abstract

A novel scheme to realize a mode-locked laser with a narrow spectral linewidth is demonstrated by exploiting a reflected Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity to introduce an intense FP effect. Stable continuous-wave mode-locked operation is achieved with the repetition rate of 48 MHz and the maximum average output power of 2.6 W under an incident pump power of 11.9 W. The mode-locked pulse width is systematically investigated by varying the optical thickness of the reflected FP cavity. The pulse duration is experimentally found to be in a range of 0.8 to 2.6 ns. The experimental results reveal that the reflected FP cavity is the key factor leading to the pulse generation in the nanosecond regime. This Letter is believed to provide a promising method for generating optical pulses with narrow spectral linewidths.
