摘要: Dye-laser pulses of duration less than 300 fsec and tunable over a range 400 A have been generated by synchronous pumping with the ultrashort from fiber-optically compressed second harmonic Nd:YAG laser. Optical as short 210 are reported in this ultrashort-pulse-pumping arrangement that does not require use saturable absorbers. With continuous temporal tuning pump pulses, we made first investigation dynamics mode locking function pump-pulse width. We describe method for generation femtosecond dye-laser should be applicable to large class visible near-infrared dyes can pumped frequency-doubled
