Femtosecond pulse generation by linear external-cavity mode locking in a bulk Nd:glass laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A bulk Nd:glass laser has been mode locked, for the first time to our knowledge, with a linear external cavity that includes a vibrating mirror. By use of intracavity dispersion compensation, pulses of 300-fs duration have been generated. The effect of the mirror movement is attributed to a start mechanism of the passive coupled-cavity mode locking and yields an expression for the optimal mirror velocity that is in qualitative agreement with the experiment.
