Generation of Orthogonally Polarized Mode-Locked Lasers at Wavelength of 1342 nm

A mode-locked laser with orthogonal polarization at the wavelength of 1342 nm is experimentally achieved by using the natural birefringence of the Nd:YVO<sub>4</sub> crystal. A total output power of 2.64 W could be obtained at an incident power of 14.4 W and the pulse durations are measu...

Description
Summary:A mode-locked laser with orthogonal polarization at the wavelength of 1342 nm is experimentally achieved by using the natural birefringence of the Nd:YVO<sub>4</sub> crystal. A total output power of 2.64 W could be obtained at an incident power of 14.4 W and the pulse durations are measured to be 15.1 and 16.9 ps with pulse repetition rates of 6.0 and 6.45&#x00A0;GHz for the laser output along the <italic>&#x03C0;</italic>- and <italic>&#x03C3;</italic>-polarization, respectively. The mode-locked output is further found to exhibit a complex temporal trace with beat frequencies originated from the different central frequencies and pulse repetition rates.
