Synchronous pumping of picosecond dye laser using high efficiency second harmonic generation from optical fibres

Abstract
The stable operation of a modelocked dye laser synchronously pumped by the second harmonic of an Nd : YAG laser produced in a Nd codoped germanosilicate optical fibre is reported. The optical fibre preparation technique which results in a second harmonic conversion efficiency of 2% is described. This optical fibre SHG conversion efficiency is the highest reported to date using a continuous-wave modelocked laser.
