Subpicosecond generation via hybrid mode-locking of styryl 9 in the near infra-red
Abstract
By applying a hybrid mode locking technique, pulses as short as 0.55 ps, tunable in the region of 840 nm have been obtained from a cw styryl 9 dye laser. The dye IR-140 which was used as the saturable absorber was initially shown to give complete modulation with styryl 9 in a simple flashlamp-pumped laser system.
