低噪声、高重复频率锁模固体激光器在精密测量和微波产生方面很有吸引力，但就噪声性能而言，最好的激光器仍然由复杂、笨重的光学装置组成，这限制了它们的应用范围。在这封信中，我们提出了一种利用单片锁模固体激光器产生高稳定的脉冲串的方法，在1 GHz的基频重复频率下，具有14mrad的记录低的积分偏频相位噪声。紧凑的单片设计通过固定腔参数简化了激光器的实现，仅使用265 mW的980 nm泵浦光。(C)2016年度美国光学学会
Low-noise, high-repetition-rate mode-locked solid-state lasers are attractive for precision measurement and microwave generation, but the best lasers in terms of noise performance still consist of complex, bulky optical setups, which limits their range of applications. In this Letter, we present an approach for producing highly stable pulse trains with a record-low residual integrated offset frequency phase noise of 14 mrad at 1 GHz fundamental repetition rate using a monolithic mode-locked solid-state laser. The compact monolithic design simplifies implementation of the laser by fixing the cavity parameters and operates using just 265 mW of 980 nm pump light. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America
