Triple synchronization of a picosecond semiconductor laser with two mode-locked dye lasers
Abstract
It is shown that the synchronization of several independent picosecond-length laser pulses to allow the choosing of a variety of synchronized wavelengths is useful in picosecond pump probe time-delay dynamics experiments, and in the probing of pulsed semiconductor laser dynamics on a picosecond time scale by means of second harmonic cross-correlation techniques. The experimental apparatus employed comprised a dual picosecond dye laser system synchronized with semiconductor lasers at 0.83, 0.88, and 1.3-micron wavelengths which had been grown by near-equilibrium liquid phase epitaxy or two-stage liquid phase epitaxy.
