Abstract
Periodically poled stoichiometric lithium-tantalate is used for mode locking of a diode-pumped laser by intracavity second-harmonic generation. Stable and self-starting operation is observed achieving average output powers of up to at a pulse-repetition rate of . The obtained pulse durations range from at maximum output power down to at .
