3 years of SESAM looking back years of SESAM Appl. Phys. B, 5-8, How did it all happen? This is the paper to read... years of ultrafast solid-state lasers: invited paper Why was it assumed that diode-pumped solid-state lasers cannot be passively modelocked? How was the SESAM invented? State-of-the-art performance and future outlook. Ultrashort pulse generation with modelocking First SESAM (first design called A-FPSA) April, 99 (submitted Nov. 6, 99) Active Modelocking A. J. De Maria, D. A. Stetser, H. Heynau Appl. Phys. Lett. 8, 7, 966! ns/div" 5 ns/div" Nd:glass first passively modelocked laser Q-switched modelocked! Q-switching problem in passively modelocked solid-state lasers: - active modelocking for solid-state lasers - dye lasers solved the problem " Year" Flashlamp-pumped solid-state lasers! 99 acousto-optic loss modulator needs RF power and water cooling
4 Ti+:Saphir Laser Innovation: before and after -Niveau-System Ti:Saphir Laser 98 How did I invent the SESAM? acousto-optic modelocker needs RF power and water cooling Peter Moulton MIT Lincoln Lab SESAM modelocker Kerr Lens Modelocking (KLM) Two experiments that should not have worked... Magic Modelocking CPM Ti:sapphire laser Postdeadline Paper CLEO 99 Nr. CPDP Postdeadline Paper Ultrafast Phenomena 99, Nr. PD modelocked Ti:sapphire laser without an absorber inside the cavity... should not work! Y. Ishida, N. Sarukura, H. Nakano Published result later in: D. E. Spence, P. N. Kean, W. Sibbett, Optics Lett. 6,, 99 Explained modelocking as a coupled cavity modelocking effect between two transverse modes used a dye saturable absorber inside the CPM Ti:sapphire laser... should not work! loss loss? gain Advantages of KLM! very fast thus shortest pulses! very broadband thus broader tunability gain Disadvantages of KLM! not self-starting! critical cavity adjustments (operated close to the stability limit)! saturable absorber coupled to cavity design (limited application) pulse time pulse time Both of them explained later by KLM by Keller et al. Optics Lett. 6,, 99 First Demonstration: D. E. Spence, P. N. Kean, W. Sibbett, Optics Lett. 6,, 99 Explanation: U. Keller et al., Optics Lett. 6,, 99 loss gain IEEE JQE 8,, 99 pulse time
5 Soliton Laser by Linn Mollenauer Why did the Sibbett group explain their results as a coupled modelocking effect? 98 Remember the mind set at that time was: Passive modelocking of solid-state laser does not work! Coupled cavity... but there was the soliton laser from Linn Mollenauer fiber with negative dispersion (GDD < ) soliton pulse compression in coupled cavity with shortens pulse in main cavity 989 Coupled Cavity Modelocking by Wilson Sibbett Coupled Cavity Modelocking by Blow & Wood 988 Coupled cavity Coupled cavity modelocking (CCM) fiber with positive dispersion (GDD > ) Dispersive pulse broadening in coupled cavity! How should that shorten pulse in main cavity? Explanation with APM (additive pulse modelocking): E. P. Ippen, H. A. Haus, L. Y. Liu, J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 6, 76, 989 Pulse is broadened yes,... but SPM makes an intensity dependent phase shift, which leads to constructive interference at the peak and destructive inteference in the wings with the pulse from the main cavity. This gives a pulse shortening effect of the coupled cavity. Coupled cavity any nonlinear element in the coupled cavity should shorten the pulse theoretical prediction with numerical modeling... physical insight was missing 5
