Designing Folded Resonator Of End-Pumped Passively Mode Locked Solid State Lasers

In this paper, a novel method is presented for designing resonator of end-pumped passively mode locked solid state lasers. The aim of this paper is to design a stable resonator ensuring continuous wave mode locking operation of laser instead of the Q switched mode locking by producing suitable beam sizes on SESAMs and gain medium. Finally, the results of our modeling for a Nd:YVO4 mode locked laser are examined by simulation of the same laser in laser software LASCAD to demonstrate accuracy of the method.
