Abstract
A femtosecond laser system capable of delivering ultrashort light-pulses was constructed. The apparatus made it possible to study photochemical reactions with a sub-100 fs time resolution. The output of a home built colliding puise mode-locked (CPM) dye laser was amplified by the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser (Quanta-Ray DCR-2A). The prearnplified light was coupled into a single mode optical fiber in order to “chirp” the pulses.
