Laser mode locking method and apparatus

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6803852
This patent describes a method for, within an optical cavity, passively mode locking a first laser pumped second laser. It comprises: emitting a first light beam from the first laser at a first frequency to promote a second light lasing in the second laser at a second frequency; and reflecting the first light beam at at least one of the ends of the cavity in accordance with the intensity of the light at the second frequency to produce a passively mode locked lasing light beam comprising a sum frequency beam and the first and second frequency beams.
