Abstract :
A novel frequency-shifted feedback semiconductor disk laser cavity is proposed and experimentally verified. The laser generates stable mode-locked pulses of 29-ps duration at a repetition rate of 300 MHz. The cavity with such a feedback method provides a robust starting mechanism for the pulse regime at any power above the laser threshold.
