摘要
Passive Q-switched mode locking of a 2.09 mu m flashlamp-pumped Cr3+, Tm3+, Ho3+:Y3Sc2Al3O12 laser by use of a phosphate glass doped with PbS quantum dots of 5 nm in radius was demonstrated. Mode-locked pulses of 290 ps in duration and up to 0.5 mJ in energy were registered. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
