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.

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.File in questo prodotto:
