On The Time Evolution Of Short Pulses In A Mode-Locked CO2 laser
Abstract
Active mode-locking of transversely excited (atmospheric) carbondioxyde (TE(A)-CO2) lasers usually does not result in pulses as short as predicted by theory. A qualitative experimental study of the mode-locking process shows that only within a small range of parameters the full advantage of the pulse compression is being used.
