In this paper we report measurements of the emission characteristics of a dye laser with light-induced distributed feedback operating at a high duty cycle with pulse durations in the picosecond range. We show that the pulse duration from a distributed feedback laser can be reduced by decreasing the total length of the periodic structure and by delaying the interfering pump pulses relative to one another. We also report generation of unprecedentedly short pulses (of picosecond duration) using a distributed feedback dye laser. (AIP)
