摘要：
Passive, continuous-wave mode-locked (CWML) operation of a 1.83 mu m Tm:YLF laser is experimentally demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Two specially selected output couplers are used to realize this operation. Stability of the CWML laser is obtained with a commercial semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The maximum average output power is 1.04 W with a pulse duration of 107 ps and repetition rate of 54.1 MHz. Further, a 0.1 mm fused-quartz Fabry-Perot etalon is used to tune the central wavelength of the stable CWML laser at 1827.2 nm, 1829.5 nm, 1831.9 nm, and 1833.5 nm.
