Passive Mode Locking of a Ti:Al2O3 Laser with a Nonlinear Coupled Cavity

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A Ti:Al2O3 laser is passively mode-locked with the use of an external cavity containing a nonlinear medium. No active modulation of the laser gain or loss is required for ultrashort pulse generation. The mode-locked output is a continuous train of chirped 2 ps pulses which may be dispersively compensated with a grating pair of obtain 560 fs pulses. For comparison purposes, the Ti:Al2O3 laser is actively mode-locked to obtain 60 ps pulses, and the pulses are shortened using the nonlinear external cavity to obtain chirped 2 ps pulses.
