Abstract
We describe the use of a nonlinear coupled cavity to enhance short pulse generation from a mode-locked Ti:Al2O3 laser. Pulses from the mode-locked laser are coupled into an optical fiber, self-phase modulated, and reinjected into the main laser cavity. Pulse durations have been reduced from ~50 to ~1.6 ps.
