title = "Hybrid SESAMs for high-repetition rate mode-locked VECSELs",
abstract = "A mode-locked VECSEL is reported using a novel hybrid semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) consisting of a semiconductor absorber region bonded to a curved dielectric partial reflector. The hybrid SESAM is realized by direct bonding of the saturable absorber to a commercially available ultrafast output coupler, nominally 99.4\% reflectivity and GDD of ≤ |20 fs2| with a radius of curvature of 10 cm. In a linear cavity where the curved output coupler is the hybrid SESAM, a pulse-width of 410 femtoseconds is achieved at a repetition rate of 4.2 GHz for a VECSEL operating at a wavelength of 1030 nm.",
