“…Early in 1993, using external modulators, Cerullo realized the first active modelocking laser in Er:Yb:phosphate glass, with an emitting wavelength of 1.5 um, pulse duration 90 ps, and output average power of 7 mW. 11) Pelz also reported an electro-optic Q-switched mode-locking laser with an Er:YAG crystal in a 3 μm wavelength. 12) After that, by the Q-switched technology, various 1.6 μm pulsed laser with Er:YAG crystals were extensively investigated, with the pulse duration of several nanoseconds level.…”

We demonstrate stable continuous-wave mode-locking (CWML) pulses around 1645nm by employing the home-made Er:YAG ceramic. By using a fiber laser and semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) with modulation depth of 1.2%, we get ML pulses with the output average power up to 815 mW, the pulse width shortened as ~4 ps, and the peak power of 1.8 kW. With the SESAM of modulation depth of 2.4%, the second-order harmonic ML pulses were also obtained. As far as we know, this is the first report of CWML from Er3+-doped ceramics and also the shortest pulse duration in Er3+-doped solid-state oscillators.
