摘要We demonstrate a passively cw mode-locked Nd:LuVO4 laser operating on the quasi-three-level at 916nm with a Z-folded resonator. Using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) as the passive mode-locking device, we achieve stable cw mode locking with 6.7ps pulse duration at repetition rate of 133MHz and 88mW average output power under the pump power of 17.1W.
