Mirror-dispersion-controlled femtosecond lasers

Abstract

Standard femtosecond self-mode-locked oscillators contain a pair of Brewster-angled prisms for producing a net negative group- delay dispersion (GDD) in the resonator. Prism pairs1 have been widely used for intracavity dispersion control in dye systems and adopted for the new generation of solid- state short-pulse lasers. Whilst it has been imperative that a prism pair be used for femtosecond mode locking of solid state lasers, they simultaneously appeared to set a limit to pulse shortening in sub-100-fs systems.
