Progress of optically pumped GaSb based semiconductor disk laser
Journal Title: Opto-Electronic Advances - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper reviewed the development of optically pumped GaSb based semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs) emission at 2 μm wavelength region from the aspects of wavelength extending, power scaling, line-width narrowing and short-pulse generation. Most recently, the wavelength of GaSb based SDLs has been extended to 2.8 μm. The highest output power of the GaSb based SDLs has been reached to 17 W at the temperature of 20 ℃. By using active stabilization, the GaSb based SDL with line-width of 20 kHz and output power of 1 W was realized. Moreover, the shortest pulse obtained from the GaSb based SDLs was generated as short as 384 fs by incorporating semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAM) in the cavity.
