Abstract
Passive modelocking of a CW diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser is reported usin g, for the first time, a nonlinear polarisation rotation effect in a t ype II crystal cut for second harmonic generation. The modelocking reg ime is self-starting and produces pulses of 7.3ps duration with 1.7W a verage output power.
