Raman fiber laser pumped by a semiconductor disk laser and mode locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror.
A 1.6µm mode-locked Raman fiber laser pumped by a 1480nm semiconductor disk laser is demonstrated. Watt-level core pumping of the single-mode fiber Raman lasers with low-noise disk lasers together with semiconductor saturable absorber mirror mode locking represents a highly practical solution for short-pulse operation.
