Compact semiconductor laser, emitted a power picosecond pulses of light without any external optical elements
Original approach to generation a picosecond pulses of light
Record parameters of emitted pulses – duration <1 ps, power to 20 W, frequency to 100 GHz
Application:
Optical communications lines
Metrology and ranging
Optical processing devices
Background
Different picosecond lasers with peak power to 30 W and duration to 800 fs, emitted light pulses in spectral interval
0,84 – 1,5 mkm was investigated in our laboratory at last 10-15 years. First of the world, optical ultrashot pulses were
founded with frequency upper 100 GHs. These results are the record. Some physics principles of pulse generation were investigated.
