Buildup of steady-state subpicosecond and femtosecond pulses in a colliding-pulse mode-locked ring dye laser.

چکیده
We show for the first time, to our knowledge, that the buildup time to steady-state femtosecond pulses in a typical colliding-pulse mode-locked dye laser (lambda = 620 nm) with compensating prisms is 15 microsec after the pulses have been completely modulated. For a similar laser without the compensating prisms, the buildup time is 40 microsec and exhibits interesting oscillatory behavior in the initial stage.

Stable operation of a synchronously pumped colliding-pulse mode-locked ring dye laser.
Pulses of 100-fsec duration are obtained by synchronous pumping of a colliding-pulse ring dye laser with a mode-locked Ar(+)-ion laser. Stable operation of the synchronously pumped colliding-pulse mode-locked laser over hours was obtained by a suitable choice of the distance between the gain and the absorber in combination with an appropriate pump-pulse sequence.
متن کاملPulse propagation near zero group-velocity dispersion in a femtosecond dye laser.
The propagation of femtosecond pulses in a colliding-pulse mode-locked dye laser near zero group-velocity dispersion is studied. The pulse spectrum is shown to exhibit a double-peak structure. This structure and its dependence on the intracavity dispersion can be explained by nonlinear pulse propagation near zero dispersion. A value for the third-order dispersion of the laser cavity is deduced ...
متن کاملPassive mode locking of a continuous-wave energy-transfer dye laser operating in the near infrared around 750 nm.
The passive mode locking of an argon-ion-pumped energy-transfer cw dye laser operating in the near infrared is reported. The dyes 1,1'-diethyl-4,4'-carbocyanine iodide and 1,1'-diethyl-2,2' -dicarbocyanine iodide were used separately to mode lock a gain medium comprising the dyes DCM and Rhodamine 700. Subpicosecond pulses were generated from 732 to 761 nm in a simple linear cavity, and pulses ...
متن کاملGeneration of Synchronized Ultraviolet and Red Femtosecond Pulses by Intracavity Frequency Doubling
We efficiently extract an ultraviolet femtosecond pulse train of milliwatt average power and 100 MHz repetition rate from a colliding pulse mode-locked dye laser by intracavity frequency doubling in KDP. The ultraviolet and visible outputs, which are comparable in power and pulse duration, are perfect synchronized with each

The passive mode locking of a cw Coumarin 6 dye laser in a colliding-pulse ring configuration is reported. Pulses of less than 500-fsec duration have been obtained from 518 to 554 nm, with the shortest pulses obtained being of 96-fsec duration.
