Mode-locking of solid state lasers using a linear external cavity

Abstract

Currently there is much interest in the generation of ultrashort pulses from tunable solid state lasers. Titanium doped sapphire (Ti:Al2O3) is particularly attractive because of its broad gain profile. Unfortunately, because of the relatively long upper state lifetime (~μs) and low gain cross section, the saturation flux of Ti:Al2O3 is too high to favor the use of cw mode-locking techniques such as synthronous or passive mode-locking which work so well with, e.g., dye lasers.
