摘要
A semiconductor disk laser based on an InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well gain medium was mode-locked by a fast semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. By high-order harmonic mode-locking a 92 GHz pulse train was obtained with a pulse duration of <200 fs. In order to achieve fundamental mode-locking, too strong saturation of the semiconductor elements had to be avoided. In a single-pulse regime, pulses shorter than 110 fs were generated at a wavelength of 1030 nm. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3554751]
