Actively mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser producing transform-limited pulses of 150-fs duration
Abstract
We report on the generation of transform-limited pulses of 150-fs duration from an actively mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. The laser produced subpicosecond pulses over the range 780-860 nm, with a maximum average output power of 600 mW. The output spot was in the form of a near-TEM(00) spot and demonstrated longterm pulse stability.
