Femtosecond graphene mode-locked Fe:ZnSe laser at 4.4  µm

Abstract: We report, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a femtosecond mode-locked Fe:ZnSe laser. Passive mode locking is implemented using graphene as a saturable absorber. The laser operates at 4.4 µm with a repetition frequency of 100 MHz and 415 mW output power pumped by a fiber 7 W Er:ZBLAN laser. The pulse duration of about 732 fs is retrieved from the first-order autocorrelation function. Additionally, we observe pulsed nanosecond oscillation under continuous-wave pumping and strong amplitude modula… Show more

“…According to the results, mode-locked pulses had a pulse width of 42 ps at a repetition rate of 25.4 MHz. Without stopping, the working wavelength of ultrafast mode-locked laser based on graphene kept extending, which reached up to 4.4 m under Pushkin et al’s work in 2020 [ 215 ].…”

“…schemes as well, and they can dramatically extend the applications of optoelectronics devices [1][2][3][4]. ZnSe and ZnS materials can be considered as perspective semiconductors to form the different detectors for the wide spectral range and to develop the mirrors and the optical limiting instruments [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Researchers have revealed the anti-reflective, luminescent properties of these materials and visualized the process of the nanoparticles' creation based on the ZnSe and ZnS structures and their introduction into the polymer matrices [8][9][10][11].…”

“…This can be achieved by developing high‐power, femtosecond 2 µm lasers based on Tm 3+ ‐, [ 45 ] Ho 3+ ‐, [ 46 ] or Cr 2+ ‐doped [ 47,48 ] crystals and its subsequent nonlinear conversion to the longer wavelength range [ 49 ] or by direct dual‐comb generation from Fe 2+ lasers up to 6 µm. [ 47,50 ] Consequently, the reported technique paves the way for a new class of single‐cavity dual‐comb lasers, which, due to their low‐noise free‐running operation, will enable spectroscopic measurements without any active stabilization in the near future.…”
