Abstract
Semiconductor saturable absorbers can be custom designed to match different solid-state lasers, allowing for either continuous modelocking or Q-switched mode-locked operation. We discuss the different design parameters of these devices to allow for optimization to different laser systems, and present results of picosecond and femtosecond systems demonstrated with this technology.
