摘要：

We present very compact Nd:YVO4 lasers which are passively mode-locked with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror at very high repetition rates between 39 and 59 GHz. We achieved between 30 and 80 mW of average output power and pulse durations of 4.8-5.5 ps. As the pulse-to-pulse spacing is only 17 ps at 59 GHz, we are approaching the limit in repetition rate which is set by the pulse duration. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
