Abstract
Coupled-cavity mode locking of a KCl:Tl color-center laser has been ac hieved with passive waveguides fabricated in the AlGaAs material syste m. The ultrafast refractive nonlinearity at the half-band gap is explo ited by the laser to produce pulses as short as 230 fs at operating wa velengths of approximately 1520 nm.
