The dimensions of the system are only 220 x 80 x 65 mm, virtually an order of magnitude smaller... Tue, 19 Jul 2011 17:17:26 +0100 http://fast-dot.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=183&Itemid=2 FAST-DOT has realised the first ever watt-level femtosecond vertical-external cavity surface emitting-laser (VECSEL) emitting at 784 fs, 1.05 W, 960 nm being achieved from a structure using quantum dots in both VECSEL end Semiconductor Salurable Absorber Mirrors (SESAM). The consortium has also successfully modelocked a VECSEL In the 1.2-1,3 um... Tue, 19 Jul 2011 17:09:24 +0100 http://fast-dot.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=182&Itemid=2 Tuneable continuous wave green-to-red laser emission (between 567.7 nm and 629.1 nm) was demonstrated using second-harmonic generation in a PPKTP waveguide with a tuneable EC-QDL. The theoretically expected excellent wavelength tuning capabilities of QD-VECSELs with very large bandwidth has been demonstrated and confirmed at 1040, 1250, and 1180... Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:54:21 +0100 http://fast-dot.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=181&Itemid=2 Fully tuneable semiconductor lasers have long been an aspiration of laser users and FAST-DOT has made substantial progress here with the realisation of picosecond pulse generation with broadband tenability (130 nm) from a mode-locked external-cavity quantum-dot laser (EC-QDL) operating at 2.3 GHz repetition rate providing and average power... Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:49:50 +0100 http://fast-dot.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=180&Itemid=2 Laser power is often thought of a constraint of semiconductor laser devices and FAST-DOT has been successful in developing new amplification methods to overcome this challenge and can point to a world record in peak power of mode locked (ML) tapered laser of 15W. This result was achieved... Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:42:49 +0100 http://fast-dot.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=179&Itemid=2 FAST-DOT 3rd newsletter published .... read more ...
