Abstract: We report passive mode locking of Nd:YAG and Nd:YAlO₃ lasers using glasses with microcrystallites of CuInS_2xSe_2(1–x). We show that it is possible for these glasses to act as saturable absorbers in lasers with active negative feedback. We have obtained ultrashort pulses with a duration of 16 ps and an energy of 20 mJ.
