Abstract

Abstract A pulsed neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser mode locked by a novel nonlinear Michelson interferometer, where one branch contains a frequency-doubling potassium titanyl orthophosphate crystal, is reported for the first time. Under the optimal experimental condition, shorter than 10 ps average pulse width at 1·06 μm and up to 95% reproducibility of mode locking can be obtained, and the stability of output energy is about 7·5%. Finally, the reason why its mode-locking output characteristics have been significantly improved is also analysed in this paper.
