Abstract
Mode-locking a Nd:silicate glass laser system by counterrunning pulses in a thin Kodak 9860 saturable absorber dye has produced considerably shorter pulses than that generated in a conventional standing-wave cavity configuration. The pulse duration of the pulse train was measured to be about 3.5 psec.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
