摘要：

A self-starting passive mode-locked Cr4+:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser that uses a saturable Bragg reflector with a single prism for dispersion compensation instead of the standard prism pair is demonstrated. We observed over 230 mW average output power with a pulse width of 400 fs at center wavelengths shorter than 1.5 mu m. The tuning range for cw laser operation extends from 1345 to 1557 nm. The mode-locked pulses are self-starting and tunable from 1420 to 1510 nm by means of lossless prism tuning without aperture. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)03941-2].
