We report, for the first time to our knowledge, femtosecond pulse generation from a graphene mode-locked Cr:ZnSe laser at 2500 nm. To minimize the insertion losses at the lasing wavelength, high-quality monolayer graphene transferred on a CaF(2) substrate was used in the experiments. Once mode-locking was initiated, t…

Ultrafast pulsed lasers can be used to achieve remarkable precision during surgical ablation. Through nonlinear interactions with tissue, ultrafast lasers can provide a largely non-thermal mechanism of ablation and a unique ability to create targeted damage within bulk tissue. These advantages have made ultrafast lase…

Ultrafast lasers operating at high repetition rates, in particular the GHz range, enable new possibilities in laser-material processing, particularly accessing the recently demonstrated ablation-cooled regime. We provide a unified perspective of the unique opportunities created by operating at high repetition rates to…

Nine quaternary (Al,Ga,In) - (P,As,Sb) semiconductor compounds lattice matched to InP are investigated theoretically. Direct bandgap, refractive index at wavelength, and thermal conductivity are calculated as a function of the composition. These material properties are important, e.g. in distributed Bragg reflectors o…

We describe a cw Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr(2+):ZnSe laser pumped by a 1800 nm thulium fiber laser. The astigmatically compensated asymmetric x cavity contained a 2.4-mm-long Cr(2+):ZnSe sample with a pump absorption coefficient of 11.6 cm(-1) and was operated with a 1% output coupler. The dispersion compensation was ac…

We obtained, what is to our knowledge, record tuning from an intracavity-pumped gain-switched Cr2+:ZnSe laser. In the experiments, a polycrystalline Cr2+:ZnSe sample with an absorption of about 43% at 1570 nm was used to minimize reabsorption losses at the lasing wavelengths below 2000 nm. By placing the gain medium i…

We describe active mode locking of a Cr(2+):ZnSe laser operating near 2.5 mum. The laser produces 4.4-ps transform-limited Gaussian-shaped pulses and produces 82 mW of average power.
