Abstract

The widespread application of ultrafast technology will require the development of compact, versatile lasers. We aim to develop an all-solid-state diode-pumped tunable femtosecond laser system employing Cr:LiSAF as the gain medium in both amplifier and oscillator to yield ultrashort pulse energies up to a few μJ for only a few watts of diode pump power. The diode-pumping at ~670 nm of a c.w. Cr:LiSAF laser has been demonstrated [e.g. 1]. Here we report on picosecond and femtosecond pulse generation from the first c.w. mode-locked, diode-pumped tunable solid-state lasers based on Cr:LiSrAlF6 (Cr:LiSAF).
