Abstract

The invention relates to a graphene mode-locked optically pumped thin disc semiconductor laser, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor lasers. A V-shaped resonant cavity and a pump light source. The resonant cavity consists of an emergent end lens, a middle reflecting mirror and an end surface reflecting mirror, wherein the emergent end lens is an output coupling lens, the middle reflecting mirror adopts a semiconductor gain chip which is installed on a radiating device and the pump light source irradiates the semiconductor gain chip through a lens group. The graphene mode-locked optically pumped thin disc semiconductor laser is characterized in that the end surface reflecting mirror is a graphene saturable absorber mirror and the graphene saturable absorber mirror comprises a graphene saturable absorbing layer and a multilayer dielectric film reflecting mirror layer. Since the saturable absorber mirror uses a zero-band-gap graphene material for making an absorbing area, saturable absorbing bandwidth does not have wavelength selectivity, the saturable restoration time is very short and ultrashort pulse output of self-starting picoseconds or femtoseconds is easy to produce. The entire system is proved to have the advantages of simple structure, easiness in adjustment, narrow output pulse width and high repeating frequency.
