摘要
A laser utilizing (Formula presented) centers in KF and yielding pulses 3-5 psec wide continuously tunable over the 1.24-1.45-μm range is described. The mode locking was achieved through synchronous pumping with ˜100-psec-wide pulses at 1.064 μm. Operated cw, the laser yielded greater than 2.3 W near band center and greater than 1 W over most of the tuning band for ˜5-W input. At any given wavelength, time-average mode-locked output power was at least half the corresponding cw value. © 1979, Optical Society of America.
