Synchronized two-color semiconductor mode-locked laser system for imaging and ranging applications

Abstract

We demonstrate an electrically synchronized two-color all-semiconductor mode-locked laser system operating at a repetition rate of 282 MHz, generating picosecond pulses centered at 974 nm and 833 nm with peak powers exceeding 100 W and 80 W respectively and a $\text{TEM}_{00}$ mode profile at output.
