Abstract

The authors report on the first demonstration of mode locking in an active waveguide laser manufactured by femtosecond laser writing. The active waveguide is fabricated in an Er-Yb-doped phosphate glass, and the mode locker is a fiber-pigtailed saturable absorber device based on single-wall carbon nanotubes specially designed to efficiently operate at 1.5 mu m. Transform-limited 1.6 ps pulses were observed in a ring laser cavity configuration. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
