  • Abstract
    An Nd:YVO4 laser which was passively modelocked at the very high repetition rate of ~77 GHz, using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), is demonstrated. The soliton-like pulses are well separated in time and their duration is 2.7 ps. The required negative dispersion is introduced by a GTI-like structure, which is formed by the gain medium and the SESAM
