Pulse generation in a cw dye laser by mode−locked synchronous pumping

Abstract
A continuous train of <500 ps (detector limited) pulses has been produced with a cw dye laser pumped by a mode−locked argon ion laser. The cavity lengths of the dye laser and argon laser were made equal in order to synchronously amplify a single pulse oscillating in the dye laser. An intracavity acousto−opticmodulator was used to dump dye laser pulses at rates as high as 10 MHz.
