Journal ArticleDOI
High-efficiency 20 W yellow VECSEL
TL;DR: A high-efficiency optically pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser emitting 20 W at a wavelength around 588 nm and the VECSEL's output could be modulated to generate optical pulses with duration down to 570 ns by directly modulating the pump laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Femtosecond mode-locked holmium fiber laser pumped by semiconductor disk laser
A. Chamorovskiy,A V Marakulin,Sanna Ranta,M. Tavast,Jussi Rautiainen,Tomi Leinonen,Andrei S Kurkov,Oleg G. Okhotnikov +7 more
TL;DR: A 2085 nm holmium-doped silica fiber laser passively mode-locked by semiconductor saturable absorber mirror and carbon nanotube absorber that produces 890 femtosecond pulses is reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Raman fiber laser pumped by a semiconductor disk laser and mode locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror.
A. Chamorovskiy,Jussi Rautiainen,Jari Lyytikäinen,Sanna Ranta,M. Tavast,Alexei Sirbu,Elyahou Kapon,Oleg G. Okhotnikov +7 more
TL;DR: Watt-level core pumping of the single-mode fiber Raman lasers with low-noise disk lasers together with semiconductor saturable absorber mirror mode locking represents a highly practical solution for short-pulse operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
1180 nm VECSEL with output power beyond 20 W
TL;DR: In this article, an optically-pumped single-chip vertical external-cavity surface-emitting laser with emission near 1180 nm was reported, where the gain mirror was grown by molecular beam epitaxy and incorporated a strain compensated GaInAs/GaAs/GAAsP active region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Narrow linewidth 1118/559 nm VECSEL based on strain compensated GaInAs/GaAs quantum-wells for laser cooling of Mg-ions
TL;DR: In this article, an optically-pumped vertical external-cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) was developed using strain compensated quantum wells, which achieved frequency doubling to approximately 570 nm with an output power of 1.1W.
