Abstract
A mode locking semiconductor disk laser (SDL) comprising a resonator terminated by first and second mirrors and folded by a third mirror is presented. The third mirror includes a semiconductor disk laser (SDL) suitable for generating a resonator field having a predetermined central wavelength λ, while the second mirror includes an intensity saturable mirror suitable for mode locking the resonator field at the predetermined wavelength. The central wavelength of the reflectivity profile of the first and or second mirrors is shifted to a wavelength shorter than the central wavelength λto suppress gain at wavelengths longer than the central wavelength λ. By mismatching the reflectivity profile of the first and or second mirrors to that of the desired output wavelength provides a stable mode locked laser with significantly reduced noise.
