Abstract
A low threshold Cr:LiSAF laser pumped with an inexpensive single-mode laser diode emitting 120 mW was passively mode-locked with a novel ultrafast saturable absorber mirror based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT-SAM). Pulses as short as 122 fs were achieved, tunable across 14 nm. A second pump diode coupled in polarization allowed to shorten the pulse duration to 106 fs, with up to 24-mW output power.
