Passive Mode Locking of a Flashlamp-Pumped Ti:Sapphire Laser

Abstract
Passive mode locking with a saturable absorber was observed in a flashlamp-pumped titanium-doped sapphire laser. The peak wavelength of the absorption spectrum of the saturable absorber (IR-125 dye) was almost the same as that of the gain spectrum of the titanium doped sapphire. The pulse durations of the mode-locked laser were about 100 ps.
