Abstract: | An electrooptic, actively mode-locked Nd: phosphate glass laser system is described employing a novel single-step feedback system to stabilize the pulse buildup time. Single output pulses of ~100 ps duration with energies of up to 1 mJ could be reliably generated with a standard deviation in thesim3.2 mus pulse buildup time of ±40 ns allowing synchronization with pulses from laser systems at other wavelengths. Evidence of pulse broading due to self-phase modulation was observed together with wide tunability of the output wavelength from 1.054 to 1.068 μm. |
