Passive mode-locking of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser using a Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber was realized for the ยฎrst time in a nearly critical stable resonator containing an antiresonant ring structure. The output energy and pulse duration are 13.5 mJ and 180 ps, respectively. The recovery time and saturab

High-repetition-rate femtosecond lasers can perform a mode-locked operation in a wide area of a stability region. The performance of mode locking depends on the operating point. An inadequate operating point often causes residual cw lines and an unstable mode-locked operation. Conditions allowing go
A passively Q-switched and mode-locked c-cut Nd:LuVO4 laser at 1.06 ฮผm using Cr 4+ :YAG absorber has been successfully demonstrated. A nearly 100% modulation depth of mode-locking was achieved.
