Journal ArticleDOI
Passive synchronization of two independent laser oscillators with a Fabry-Perot modulator.
Wolfgang Seitz,Thomas R. Schibli,Uwe Morgner,F. X. Kärtner,Christoph Lange,Wolfgang Richter,B. Braun +6 more
TL;DR: By optical modulation of the reflectivity of an intracavity nonlinear Fabry-Perot semiconductor mirror, the pulse train from a passively mode-locked Nd:YVO(4) laser oscillator is synchronized to an independent femtosecond-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
All-optical active mode locking with a nonlinear semiconductor modulator.
TL;DR: All-optical active mode locking of a picosecond Nd:YVO(4) laser is demonstrated by use of an intracavity semiconductor nonlinear Fabry-Perot mirror.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote two-color optical-to-optical synchronization between two passively mode-locked lasers.
Heng Li,Li-Jin Chen,Haynes Pak Hay Cheng,Justin May,Steve Smith,Kerstin Muehlig,Akshaya Uttamadoss,Josef Frisch,Alan Fry,F. X. Kärtner,Philip H. Bucksbaum +10 more
TL;DR: This steady remote two-color optical-to-optical synchronization is an important step toward an integrated femtosecond fiber timing distribution system for free-electron lasers (FELs); it does not require x-ray pulses, and it makes sub-10-fs optical/x-ray pump-probe experiments feasible.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Passive synchronization of two independent laser oscillators with a Fabry-Perot modulator
Wolfgang Seitz,Thomas R. Schibli,Uwe Morgner,F. X. Kärtner,Christoph Lange,Wolfgang Richter,B. Braun +6 more
TL;DR: It is obtained that the Ti:sapphire laser is still independently tunable over a large wavelength range, and the tolerable cavity-length difference between the two laser oscillators exceeds 20mu;m.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optical modulator for passive synchronization and active modelocking of lasers
Wolfgang Seitz,R. Ell,Uwe Morgner,Thomas R. Schibli,F. X. Kärtner,Christoph Lange,Wolfgang Richter,B. Braun +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an optical device that allows for fast modulation of the intracavity losses by external illumination is presented, and its application as an intra-cavity device for active mode-locking and laser synchronization is discussed.
