Abstract

The temporal and spectral characteristics of a laser diode-pumped, additive-pulse mode-locked Nd:YLF laser have been investigated with respect to the cavity detuning between main and external cavities. In the case of a usual output through the beam splitter between main and external cavities, a strong temporal modulation was observed from an intensity autocorrelation trace which was also confirmed by a calculation based on intensity-dependent reflectance. To obtain mode-locked pulses without any temporal modulation, an output was directly extracted from the main cavity, and clean pulses with 1.7 ps duration were obtained at 1053 nm.
