Abstract
It has recently been reported1,2 that Ti:sapphire lasers can generate subpicosecond pulses, even without the help of a nonlinear coupled cavity or of a saturable absorber. In the first case,1 a loss modulator was used to initiate mode-locking; however, the pulse duration was too short to be consistent with pure active mode-locking.
