摘要: Spectra extending from 600 to 1200 nm have been generated a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser producing 5-fs pulses. Specially designed double-chirped mirror pairs provide broadband controlled dispersion, and second intracavity focus in glass plate provides additional spectral broadening. These spectra are our knowledge the broadest ever directly oscillator.
