Abstract

Utilizing a coupled three-mirror cavity design with a fractional subcavity-length ratio, the pulse repetition rate of a mode-locked laser can be increased by an integer-multiple of the fundamental mode-locking frequency, δ₀, which is determined by the master cavity length. The feasibility of this approach has been demonstrated with a BDN dye-sheet Q-switched Nd: YAG laser using a coupled cavity having a variable subcavity-length ratio. A tripled mode-locking frequency, 3δ₀, has been observed for a given master cavity length. The temporal characteristics of the output pulse trains are consistent with the theoretical consideration.
