SIMULTANEOUS MODELOCKING AND Q-SWITCHING OF A CO-MGF2 LASER BY LOSS-MODULATION FREQUENCY DETUNING
We report the first observation of simultaneous Q-switching and modelocking of a broadly tunable Co:MgF2 laser operating at 1.5-2.0 μm. This behaviour is obtained by detuning the cavity with respect to the loss modulation. In this regime the modelocked pulses are slightly broadened, but they are inc...
