Abstract
We demonstrate the generation of 350 fs pulse by post-compression of a neodymium (Nd)-doped picosecond laser within a single stage bulk multi-pass cell (MPC) device. By meticulous design and precise alignment of the optical path, a record-high number of 125 passes is implemented, resulting in a spectral broadening factor of 16 and a pulse compression factor of 27.1. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first instance of a 300-fs class pulse width being emitted from a single-stage MPC post-compression Nd-doped picosecond laser device. It also has been proven to be applicable for laser processing.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
