Problems solved by technology

However, for the generation of narrower picosecond or even femtosecond ultrashort laser pulses, the research progress of lasers in different wavebands is also very different.
[0004] At present, the power of continuous lasers in the 1.6 μm band has increased rapidly, and the maximum output power at room temperature has reached more than 80 W. However, the average power of semiconductor-pumped erbium solid-state lasers in Q-switched pulse mode is still only on the order of watts, and the pulse width is tens of nanometers. seconds, it is difficult to obtain picosecond or even femtosecond ultrashort pulse laser by Q-switching
Due to the narrow gain bandwidth of erbium-doped laser materials working in the 1.6 μm band and the lack of mature saturable absorption devices, there is no report on ultrashort pulse lasers
