In recent years, passively mode-locked fiber lasers genera<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g high power ultrashort opticalpulses have been intensively investigated for the application in diverse fields including bio-medicalimaging, material processing, THz generation and optical frequency metrology due to their advantagessuch as low cost, alignment-free structure and high spatial beam quality over conventional solid statelasers. In mode-locked fiber lasers, saturable absorbers (SAs) are popularly used for environmentallyrobust and stable laser mode-locking operation. Recent development of novel SAs based on singlewalledcarbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have drawn great attention because of their advantages includingfast saturation recovery time around 1ps, wide and easily controllable operational wavelength andsimple fabrication process. In this contribution, we demonstrate high pulse energy Er-doped fiber laserby using a SWCNT-SA in combination with a dispersion compensa<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g fiber (DCF). The SA includesside-polished fiber which enables robust and efficient nonlinear interaction with evanescent fields inthe waveguide expec<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g increase of optical and thermal damage threshold compared to previouslyreported direct coa<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g of SWCNTs on fiber ferrules. The fabricated “dissipative soliton” fiber laser[1] exhibits high average output power of 50 mW, corresponding to pulse energy about 2 nJ.

In research such as in fluorescence lifetime measurements, quantum optics, opticalcommunication. We report the design and characterization of a picosecond diode laser based on gainswitching technique using low cost 405 nm laser diodes and a fast electronic pulser. The pulser usesbipolar wide-band transistors and could deliver electrical pulses about 1 ns. The repetition rate couldbe varied and may attain 50 MHz. The operation of the laser has also been studied theoretically todetermine the optimal opera<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g condition for genera<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g picosecond pulses and the results suggest apulse-width of about 50-100 picoseconds. Fluorescence lifetime measurements of organic dyes usingour picosecond laser indicate good performance of this picosecond diode laser.I. INTRODUCTIONLaser sources providing ultrashort pulses in the picosecond range are being used extensivelyin many research areas such as ultrafast processes, quantum optics, optical communication. Inmany cases such single molecule detection and fluorescence lifetime measurements the powerrequirement for the laser source is minimal with the average power usually well below 1 mW.Solid state diode-pumped picosecond lasers genera<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g ultrashort pulses in the 10 ps and beloware expensive and delicate to operate. Semiconductor lasers are a low cost, compact opticalsource which can provide short pulses in the picosecond range. Pulsewidth in the range below 10ps can be obtained using mode locking techniques (Gee & Bowers 2001). Ultrashort pulses inthe range 10 - 100 ps can be conveniently generated by simply gain switch the diode laser(Tatum et al. 1992, Dupriez et al. 2006, Kono et al. 2008). This technique has been exploited byseveral authors to generate picosecond pulses at different wavelengths, depending on the choiceof the laser diode. The gain switching is accomplished by either driving the laser diode withlarge power RF signal or by injec<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g the diode laser with intense short electrical pulses (Oh etal. 2002, Tatum et al. 1992). The entire laser can be made very compact and at relatively lowcost. Recently Uhring et al. (2009) have proposed a new design for the driving circuit or pulserto produce intense and short (~1 ns) electrical pulses at arbitrary repetition rate to generatepicosecond laser pulses of ~50 ps in duration. Tes<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g the design on several different types oflaser diode at wavelength 635 to 780 nm indicates that the pulse duration is commonly foundaround 50 ps. In this paper we report the fabrication of the diode laser using similar design andextends the wavelength to the blue 405 nm diode. This laser radiation at this short wavelength isvery useful and can be used to excite most of the interes<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g samples. We also report themeasurements of the laser characteristics and the initial fluorescence lifetime measurementsusing this laser module.II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PICOSECOND DIODE LASEROur picosecond diode laser uses the blue diode emit<s<strong>trong</strong>>tin</s<strong>trong</strong>>g at wavelength around 405 nmcommonly used in DVD players. This kind of laser diode is selected because of its availability113
