Bragg mirror type of semiconductor saturable absorption mirror near 800 nm was made first time in China, by which we realized passive continuous wave modelocking for Arion laser pumped Ti-sapphire laser.

By such principle,a new type of surface-state semiconductor saturable absorption mirror was introduced,with which we realize passive continuous wave modelocking of diode-end-pumped Nd:YAG laser.

The lasing oscillation threshold was 35 mW and CW mode locking threshold was 0.

Continuous wave (CW) and CW mode-locking operations were achieved for the first time by suppressing the self-Q-switch.

By analysing energy level structure of BDN dye in combination with rate equations, the authors point out the possibility of realizing passive mode-locking by using BDN dye film with relaxation time of ground state in nanosecond magnitude.

The experimental observation of blue-chirped pulses for passive mode-locking is found to be due to the different contributions of gain and absorber media to the calorific-effective parameters change.

The passive mode-locking operation of a flash-lamp pumped Nd∶YAG laser was achieved by inserting the nc-Si-SiNx film as the saturable absorber i.

Optical short-pulsed lasers offer a broad range of applications in various fields,such as Q regulation,radio saturation and absorption lens,passively mode-locking and carbone monotubes,etc.

Femtosecond passively mode-locked Er~(3+)-doped fiber ring laser;

Study on passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser by means of NALM;

A passively mode-locked fiber ring laser with a small segment of Er3+-doped fiber as gain medium,pumped by stable 976 nm laser diode(LD) and mode-locked by the nonlinear polarization rotation(NPR) technique,was successfully achieved.
