Generation of 16-fsec frequency-tunable pulses by optical pulse compression
Abstract
Using a two-stage optical-fiber pulse compressor together with an optical amplifier, the 5.4-psec pulses from a synchronously pumped mode-locked dye laser have been compressed to 16-fsec duration. The compressed pulses had peak powers of 80 kW and a repetition rate of 200 Hz and were tunable over the wavelength of the dye laser.
