Abstract
A diode-end-pumped self-mode-locked Tm,Ho:LuLiF4 (LLF) laser is demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. At the incident pump power of 3.4 W, the stable self-mode-locked operation of the Tm,Ho:LLF laser was realized without any additional devices in the resonator. Further increasing the incident pump power to 6.8 W, the maximum average output power of 1.07 W was achieved at 2068 nm with a pulse width of 746 ps and a repetition frequency of 468 MHz. The experimental results indicate that the Tm,Ho:LLF crystal is promising to generate the high-power self-mode-locked solid-state laser at 2 μm waveband. The self-mode-locked Tm,Ho:LLF laser has potential applications in optical communication, remote sensing, material process, and nonlinear frequency conversion.
