title: Continuous-Wave and Passively Mode-Locked Operation of a Cunyite (Cr(4+):Ca(2)GeO(4)) Laser.
abstract: Continuous-wave and mode-locked Cr(4+):Ca(2)GeO(4) lasers that use a fiber laser pump source were demonstrated. The continuous-wave Cr(4+):Ca(2)GeO(4) laser yielded a maximum output power of 415 mW at 1420 nm and a tuning range of 1335-1492 nm. With a saturable-absorber mirror, 60-ps pulses and 110-mW maximum output power were generated from a passively mode-locked Cr(4+):Ca(2)GeO(4) laser.
