Abstract
By using a CuInS2xSe2(1−x)-doped glass as an intracavity saturable absorber, passive mode-locking of Nd:YAG and Nd:YAlO3 lasers is obtained. Ultrashort laser pulses are achieved with duration of 16 ps (for Nd:YAlO3 at 1.08 μm) and 36 ps (for Nd:YAG at 1.064 μm), respectively. The intensity dependent transmittance and transient absorption change measurements are performed on CuInS2xSe2(1−x)-doped glasses at 1.08 μm with the use of laser pulses of 15 ps width. The bleaching relaxation time is found to be ∼11 ps.
