We demonstrate diode-pumped passively mode-locked 1.34-μm Nd:YVO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sub> lasers with repetition rates of 5 and 10GHz. Passive mode locking is achieved by using a novel GaInNAs-based saturable absorber mirror. Phase noise measurements prove the low timing jitter that can be obtained with this kind of lasers.
