Journal ArticleDOI
Passive mode locking of a continuous-wave dye laser in the red-near-infrared spectral region
TL;DR: Passive mode locking of a cw Rhodamine 700 dye laser is reported for the first time to the authors' knowledge and continuous-output trains of subpicosecond pulses have been obtained in the 727-740- and 762-778-nm spectral regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous autocorrelation and synchroscan streak camera measurement of cavity length detuning effects in a synchronously pumped cw dye laser
TL;DR: In this article, the cavity matching condition for optimum stable, picosecond pulse generation in a synchronously pumped c.w. mode locked dye laser has been achieved with an accuracy of 2 μm using a synchronized operated streak camera exhibiting a modest temporal resolution of 9 ps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subpicosecond generation via hybrid mode-locking of styryl 9 in the near infra-red
K. Smith,W. Sibbett,James Taylor +2 more
TL;DR: By applying a hybrid mode locking technique, pulses as short as 0.55 ps, tunable in the region of 840 nm have been obtained from a cw styryl 9 dye laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of experiment and theory in a synchronously mode-locked dye laser
TL;DR: In this paper, the detuning characteristics of a synchronously mode-locked dye laser were studied using a Synchroscan streak camera, and the results were in good agreement with sets of steady-state profiles obtained from a simple computational model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hybrid mode-locking of a cw Rhodamine 700 dye laser
TL;DR: Two saturable absorber dye solutions, HITCI and DOTCI, have been employed to provide hybrid mode-locking of a cw dye-aser operating over the 770-781 nm and 710-718 nm spectral ranges respectively as discussed by the authors.
