Abstract

The concept of multiple gain element cavity was applied for power scaling a passively mode-locked semiconductor disk laser. 400 mW of average output power for the laser with a single gain element was boosted to 900 mW for the laser with the dual gain cavity. The increase in output power was accompanied by an increase in the order of mode-locking harmonic.
