Problems solved by technology

At present, semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) is still used more in mode-locked lasers, but there are still many almost insurmountable problems in SESAM. For example, in the preparation method, SESAM usually adopts metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) Or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method preparation, not only the production process is complex, but also must be based on an expensive ultra-clean room manufacturing system, at the same time, there are also performance problems such as narrow working wavelength range (<100nm), long recovery time, difficult to control the modulation depth, Many problems such as low photodamage threshold
