Pbs Quantum-Dot Doped Glasses As Saturable Absorbers For Mode Locking Of A Cr:Forsterite Laser

Quantum confined nanocrystals of PbS in glass were used as intracavity saturable absorbers to obtain passive continuous-wave mode locking in a Cr:forsterite laser. We obtained near transformed-limited 4.6 ps laser pulses at 110MHz repetition rate, and a wide tunability range of 1207-1307 nm. The absorption saturation intensity of the quantum-dot PbS doped glasses was measured to be 0.2 MW/cm2.
