ABSTRACT We report a nonlinear-mirror mode-locked diode-pumped solid-state Nd:GYSGG laser operating at 1061 nm. The nonlinear mirror comprises a periodically poled LiNbO3(PPLN) crystal and a dichroic mirror. Continuous-wave mode-locked laser with an output power of 450 mw is obtained under a diode pump power of 5.5 W at 808 nm. The repetition rate of the mode-locked laser is 97.1 MHz and the bandwidth of spectral is 1.3 nm. Considering the group velocity mismatch (GVM) of PPLN, we estimate the minimum pulse width is about 9 ps.
