Mode locking of a continuous-wave titanium-doped sapphire laser using a linear external cavity
- Femtosecond Optics Group, Department of Physics, Imperial College, Prince Consort Road, London SW7 2BZ, UK (GB)
The mode locking of a Ti:Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} laser with a moving extracavity mirror is described. With no active mode-locking element and with no nonlinear element in the external cavity, pulses of less than 40 psec have been directly generated from a cw laser. A possible mechanism for this novel mode-locking technique is discussed.
