Generation of 16-fs pulses at 425 nm by extracavity frequency doubling of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser
- Max-Born-Institut fuer Nichtlineare Optik und Kurzzeitspektroskopie, Rudower Chaussee 6, D-12489 Berlin (Germany)
An efficient doubling scheme capable of producing 16-fs pulses centered at 425 nm with an average power of 40 mW is described. The system uses 15-fs pulses from a continuous-wave mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillator centered at 850 nm. The pulse characteristics resulting from doubling with {beta}-barium borate crystals of various lengths are presented. The results compare favorably with previous attempts at intracavity doubling and provide a more convenient route to femtosecond experiments with fully synchronized second-harmonic radiation. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital Optical} {ital Society} {ital of} {ital America}.
