摘要：

We report a femtosecond-pulse vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser with a continuous repetition frequency tuning range of 8% near 1 GHz. A constant average output power of 56 +/- 1 mW and near-transform-limited pulse duration of 450 +/- 20 fs were observed across the entire tuning range. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.
