We describe a self-mode-locked diode-pumped Cr:LiSAF laser producing almost-bandwidth-limited tunable pulses of 34-fs duration at an average power of 42 mW. We discuss the capacity of this laser to produce even-shorter pulses and how their quality may be improved by reduction of pulse-duration limiting effects.

We report the laser-diode pumped multi-gigahertz (GHz) self-mode-locked alexandrite femtosecond (fs) lasers for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Using a simple linear cavity, stable mode-locked laser was achieved with a repetition rate of 3.6 GHz and a pulse width of 237 fs.

With the numerical analysis, an orthogonally polarized SML lasers at wavelength of 1047 nm and 1053 nm is experimentally achieved in a simple concave-plano cavity without any additional optical element. It is experimentally observed that the polarization switching and coexistence was successfully demonstrated by introducing gain competition and anisotropic thermal lens effect.

The design of self-mode-locked was theoretically analyzed, and a compact and feasible dual-concave cavity was adopted. The maximum output power of the first-Stokes Raman laser was 736 mW with the repetition rate of 1.
