Diode-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti: sapphire laser with broad wavelength tunability

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/ab37fb

Abstract

We report a direct blue-diode-pumped wavelength tunable Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. Central wavelength tunability as broad as 89 nm (736-825 nm) is achieved by adjusting the insertion of the prism. Pulses as short as 17 fs are generated at a central wavelength of 736 nm with an average output power of 31 mW. The maximum output power is 46.8 mW at a central wavelength of 797 nm with a pulse duration of 46 fs.

Keywords: blue-diode pump Ti:sapphire wavelength tunable Kerr-lens mode-locked laser
