We introduce a simple and compact diode-pumped Pr:YLF-Cr:LiCAF laser, operating at 813.42 nm and providing a 130-mW, single-frequency output tunable over a 3-GHz range. The laser has a short-term intrinsic linewidth estimated to be 700 Hz (β-separation method), while exhibiting a free-running wavelength stability of below 1 pm in one hour. Using a feed-forward technique we demonstrate the integration of the laser output into a fully stabilized, 1-GHz Ti:sapphire laser frequency comb, resulting in a heterodyne beat note between the laser and the comb with a bandwidth of 65 kHz. Combining feed-forward control with a low-bandwidth servo feedback loop permits stable long-term locking with an rms beat note variation of 15 kHz over 2 minutes. This performance makes the laser a potential candidate for the lattice laser in a Sr optical lattice clock.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are solution-processable semiconductor nanocrystals with favorable optoelectronic characteristics, one of which is their multi-excitonic behavior that enables broadband polychromatic light generation and amplification from monodisperse QDs. However, the practicality of this has been limited by the difficulty in achieving spatial separation and patterning of different colors as well as the high pumping intensity required to excite the multi-excitonic states. Here, we have addressed these issues by integrating monodisperse QDs in multi-excitonic states into a specially designed cavity, in which the QDs exhibit an anisotropic polychromatic emission (APE) characteristic that allows for tuning the emission from green to red by shifting the observation direction from perpendicular to lateral.

For the purpose of determining the characteristics of the Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside chloride (COGC) dye, both an FT-IR spectrometer and a UV-Visible spect rometer were employed through the process. At a wavelength of 473 nm, a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser with an adjustable wavelength was used to quantify the thermally induced optical nonlinearity of the dye in a solvent composed of dimethylformamide. For the purpose of measuring the optical response, the Z-scan technique was utilised.

GaN-based laser diodes offer new prospects for pumping, yet challenges persist in achieving sufficient Ti:sapphire output power and beam quality. We introduce what we believe to be a novel approach using pulsed blue laser diode pumping of a Ti:sapphire amplifier.

Analytical evaluation of reabsorption effects and optimization of the fiber length allow enhanced pulse energy extraction at long wavelengths. This enables the generation of Gaussian-shaped pulses with pulse energies of 1.
