Abstract

We experimentally demonstrated a sub-picosecond laser based on Yb:Gd <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">5</sub> crystal and obtained stable rational harmonic mode-locked laser output. Along with the fundamental repetition rate of 100 MHz, we observed the generation of the 200 MHz harmonics and pulse bunches, depending on the balance between the laser gain and incident pulse energy fluence on the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The pulse duration in harmonic mode-locking operation was measured as 600 fs, while pulses in bunch were measured with a duration of 1 ps separated by 20-ps time interval.
