High-power diode-pumped Q-switched Er3+:YAG single-crystal fiber laser for active imaging system
Igor Martial, Julien Didierjean, François Balembois +1
We describe an efficient laser emission from a directly grown Er3+:YAG single-crystal fiber that is resonantly pumped using a continuous-wave (CW) laser diode at 1532 nm. In a long…
High-contrast Ultrabroadband Frontend Source for High Intensity Few-Cycle Lasers
Aurélie Jullien, X. Chen, A. Ricci +7
An ultrabroadband seed source for high-power, high-contrast OPCPA systems at 800 nm is presented. The source is based on post compression in a hollow-core fiber followed by crossed…
External-cavity designs for phase-coupled laser diode arrays
Gaelle Lucas-Leclin, David Pabœuf, Patrick Georges +6
We describe passive phase-locking architectures based on external-cavity setups to improve the brightness of diode laser bars. Volume Bragg gratings are used to stabilize the lase…
On thermal effects in solid state lasers: the case of ytterbium-doped materials
Sebastien Chenais, Frederic Druon, Sebastien Forget +2
A review of theoretical and experimental studies of thermal effects in solid-state lasers is presented, with a special focus on diode-pumped ytterbium-doped materials. A large part…
Femtosecond laser Fourier transform absorption spectroscopy
Julien Mandon, Guy Guelachvili, Nathalie Picqué +2
A femtosecond mode-locked laser is used for the first time as a broadband infrared source for high resolution Fourier transform absorption spectroscopy. Demontration is made with a…
Picosecond laser source at 1 MHz with continuous tunability in the visible red band
Sebastien Forget, Francois Balembois, Gaelle Lucas-Leclin +1
We report the first demonstration to our knowledge of a continuously tunable picosecond laser operating around 1 MHz. The emission can be tuned from 640 to 685 nm and the repetitio…
Passively mode-locked diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 oscillator operating at ultra-low repetition rate
Dimitris N. Papadopoulos, Sebastien Forget, M. Delaigue +3
We demonstrate the operation of an ultra low repetition rate, high peak power, picosecond diode pumped Nd:YVO4 passively mode locked laser oscillator. Repetition rates even below 1…
Direct and absolute temperature mapping and heat transfer measurements in diode-end-pumped Yb:YAG
Sebastien Chenais, Sebastien Forget, Frederic Druon +2
We report direct and absolute temperature measurements in a diode-end-pumped Yb:YAG crystal, using a calibrated infrared camera, with a 60-m spatial resolution. The heat transfe…
Passively Q-switched diode-pumped Cr4+:YAG/Nd3+:GdVO4 monolithic microchip laser
Sebastien Forget, Frederic Druon, Francois Balembois +5
the realization of high repetition rate passively Q-switched monolithic microlaser is a challenge since a decade. To achieve this goal, we report here on the first passively Q-swit…
