A Nd:Gd 0.7 Y 0.3 VO 4 crystal is grown in laser quality. The crystal is diode-pumped at 808 nm. When operated in a Z-shaped resonator with an acousto-optical modulator in combination with a Kerr lens, it produces pulses of 1.7 ps at 140 MHz repetition rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
