Abstract

We experimentally demonstrated a sub-picosecond laser based on Yb:Gd ₂SiO₅ crystal and obtained stable rational harmonic mode-locked laser output. Along with the fundamental repetition rate of 100 MHz, we observed the generation of the 200-MHz harmonics and pulse bunches, depending on the balance between the laser gain and incident pulse energy fluence on the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The pulse duration in harmonic mode-locking operation was measured as 600 fs, while pulses in bunch were measured with a duration of 1 ps separated by 20-ps time interval.
