title: 1.34-μm Nd:YVO4 laser mode-locked by SHG-lens formation in periodically-poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate.
abstract: Self-starting, steady-state χ((2))-lens mode-locking of a 1.34-μm diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) laser using intracavity second harmonic generation in PPMgSLT is demonstrated. Pulses as short as 3.6 ps with an average output power of ~1 W are obtained at a repetition rate of 120 MHz.
