Abstract

The use of a nonlinear coupled cavity to enhance short pulse generation from a mode-locked Ti:Al2O3 laser is described. Pulses from the mode-locked laser are coupled into an optical fiber, self-phase modulated, and reinjected into the main laser cavity. Pulse durations have been reduced from approximately 50 to approximately 1.6 ps. The laser setup is described. An autocorrelation of the mode-locked Ti:Al2O3 laser output and an autocorrelation of the output pulse with the nonlinear external cavity are shown and discussed.
