COLLIDING PULSE MODE-LOCKED Nd:YAG AND Nd:PHOSPHATE GLASS LASERS
-
Abstract
Using pentamethylidyne dye as a saturable absorber, we have obtained pulses close to Fourier-transform limit from colliding pulse mode-locked Nd:YAG and Nd:phosphate glass lasers with minim pulse durations of 8 psec and 3.7 psec, respectively.
