Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main results of this research are as follows: (1) The fiber laser pumped Fe:ZnSe laser oscillator with high power, high efficiency, and compact has been firstly demonstrated. (2) The mode-locked femtosecond Fe:ZnSe laser oscillator using graphene saturable absorber has been demonstrated. (3) The Q-switched Fe:ZnSe laser oscillator with high repetition rate and high peak power, which can be applied to misprocessing, has been demonstrated. From these results, we have obtained the prospect of realizing a high-power, high-efficiency, compact mid-infrared femtosecond laser that can be used for various applications.
