Picosecond pulse generation from a continuous-wave diode laser through cross-phase modulation in an optical fiber
- Femtosecond Optics Group, Physics Department, Imperial College, Prince Consort Road, London (United Kingdom)
Picosecond pulses have been generated from a cw diode-laser source using cross-phase modulation from a cw-pumped mode-locked Nd:YAG laser operating at 1.06 {mu}m. By tuning the diode laser in the region near 1.5 {mu}m, the effect of group-velocity mismatch can be minimized, making efficient use of the fiber length and optimizing the cross-phase modulation spectral broadening.
