As short as 8.5 fs pulses have been generated from a home made self-start self-mode-locking Ti: sap-phire laser. With higher Ti dopped, shorter laser rod, lower third order group velocity dispersion prism pair, and la...
A low pump power self starting Kerr lens mode locking Ti:sapphire laser without internal aperture is demonstrated and analyzed with “thick lens” model and with self consistency gain modulation. Pulses as short as 15...
