On the possibility of generation of ultrashort pulses in short-gain-duration lasers by fast mode locking using an electro-optic deflector

摘要: Fast mode locking with the use of an electro-optic deflector - a novel method for production ultrashort pulses (USPs) in short-gain-duration lasers is briefly described and discussed. The potential this demonstrated by using numerical simulation USP generation taking KrF laser as example. It shown that several picoseconds duration can be produced at gain only 50 ns, i.e. two orders magnitude shorter than those attainable conventional locking. Some properties are described.
