Abstract :
Here we report on record-high average output power of a femtosecond VECSEL (1 W, 784 fs) and present the first detailed study of femtosecond VECSELs modelocked by fast QD-SESAMs. We investigate the modelocking performance both for VECSELs with QD and QW gain structures. Based on our previous work on the influence of GDD on the pulse duration.
