Journal ArticleDOI
The generation of ultrashort laser pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an introduction to ultrafast laser development for scientists new to the field and provide a snapshot of the state-of-the-art of ultrafast lasers and to indicate how this state evolved over the last thirty years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Femtosecond synchronously pumped Pyridine dye lasers.
TL;DR: These results combine with other data from the same linear cavity to give direct femtosecond generation over the spectral range 560-840 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation of femtosecond light pulses in the near infrared around λ = 850 nm
TL;DR: In this paper, a synchronously pumped ring dye laser was used to produce femtosecond light pulses tunable between 840 nm and 880 nm, with pulse durations down to 65 fs.
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.

Femtosecond white-light continuum pulses.
TL;DR: Gigawatt white-light continuum pulses that permit spectroscopic measurements with a time resolution of 80 fsec are obtained that are consistent with self-phase modulation having a prominent role in generation of the continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mode-locking of quasi-continuous lasers
TL;DR: In this article, a simple rate-equation theory is developed which indicates that the combination of nonlinear amplification and nonlinear absorption may be responsible for ultrashort pulse generation in a mode-locked quasi-continuous laser system in the absence of commensurately short relaxation times.

High-efficiency, high-power difference-frequency generation at 2-4 µm in LiNbO 3
TL;DR: In this paper, high-efficiency generation of high-peak power and high-average power difference-frequency radiation, continuously tunable over the range of 2 to 4 μm, was achieved by mixing the Nd:YAG laser radiation with the output of a near-infrared dye laser pumped by the second harmonic of the same Nd-Y AG laser in LiNbO 3.

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.
