Integrated acousto-optic mode locking device for a mode locked laser system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7255499
An integrated acousto-optic mode locker is described comprising: a laser medium having first and second ends and a longitudinal axis; an excitation source for producing a population inversion in the medium; an acoustic-optic modulator mounted along the longitudinal axis of the laser medium and placed in close proximity to a first end of the laser medium; an output mirror mounted close to a second end to the laser medium and constituting together with the acoustic-optic modulator an optical resonator having an optical axis and an optical path of length L; means for controlling and maintaining the temperature of the acousto-optic modulator.
