Abstract

See full text

A passively mode-locking laser and corresponding method is described. The laser comprises a resonator (2) terminated by first (3) and second (4) mirrors and folded by a third (5) and fourth (6) mirror. The third mirror comprises a reflector (14) surmounted by a multilayer semiconductor gain medium (15) including at least one quantum well layer while the second mirror (4) comprises an intensity saturable mirror. The resonator is configured to provide a cross sectional area of an intra cavity resonating field on the intensity saturable mirror that is greater than or equal to a cross sectional area of the intra cavity resonating field on the multilayer semiconductor gain medium. This arrangement provides a passively mode-locking laser that exhibits increased stability when compared to those systems known in the art.
