We demonstrate the generation of red light femtosecond laser pulses from an intra-cavity frequency-doubled Cr^4+ :forsterite laser. An average output power of 75 mW is obtained at the central wavelength of 647nm wit...
The passively Q-switched and mode-locked(QML) characteristics in a diode-pumped Nd∶GdVO4 laser with Cr4+∶YAG saturable absorbers have been demonstrated. A maximum average output power of 710mW has been obtained in...
