On the generation of tunable ultrashort light pulses
Abstract
A number of experimental arrangements for the generation of tunable ultrashort light pulses are described in detail. Among these systems are: a flashlamp-pumped passively mode-locked Nd:glass laser; a flashlamp-pumped passively mode-locked Nd:YAG laser; a CW mode-locked Nd:YAG laser for synchronous pumping; and a passive mode-locked CW Ar(+) dye laser. A table is presented which lists the characteristic pulse duration, repetition rate and energy/pulse ratio for each of the devices. The applications of the lasers in several different fields are discussed.
