Self-starting 6.5-fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser.
We demonstrate self-starting 6.5-fs pulses from a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser with 200-mW average output power at a pulse repetition rate of ~86 M Hz. This is to our knowledge the shortest pulse ever generated directly from a laser. For dispersion compensation we used a prism pair in combination with double-chirped mirrors, which balances the higher-order dispersion of the prism pai...
متن کامل50-fs pulse generation from a self-starting cw passively mode-locked Cr:LiSrAlF6 laser.
Femtosecond laser physics has been transformed by the advent of the titanium-doped sapphire laser, which has been mode locked by conventional and novel means (e.g., Refs. 1-7) and directly yielded pulses as short as 25 fs.' The observation of selfmode locking5 has led to the realization that the nonlinear refractive index of the laser medium can be used to provide both amplitude modulation, thr...
متن کامل320 fs Pulses from an Ultrafast Laser Inscribed Waveguide Laser Utilizing a Carbon Nanotube Saturable Absorber
We report the generation of sub-picosecond modelocked pulses from an ultrafast laser inscribed Er-doped waveguide laser. 320 fs pulses at a repetition rate of 40 MHz and energy of 31 pJ were facilitated via passive modelocking by a carbon nanotube saturable absorber.

متن کاملEnhanced high-harmonic generation using 25 fs laser pulses.
We present experimental and theoretical results on high-harmonic generation in noble gases using an 805 nm, 25 fs, titanium-doped sapphire laser. The harmonic energies observed are unexpectedly high when compared with experimental and theoretical results to date for longer excitation pulses. We observe that the efficiency of harmonic production is highest for shorter pulses. Furthermore, the wa...
متن کاملTissue ablation with 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulses
We used water and human skin tissue to compare the surgical potential of 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulses. For investigation of threshold behavior of 100-fs and 200-ps pulses, we use water as a model for tissue. In addition to having a lower threshold, we find that energy deposition is much more consistent with 100-fs pulses. We also compared 100-fs and 200-ps laser pulse effects on the surface a...
