Abstract

High-power, subpicosecond infrared pulses have been generated over the wavelength region of 1.7-4.0 microm. The technique uses difference-frequency generation in a LiNbO(3) crystal. The subpicosecond output of an amplified colliding-pulse mode-locked (CPM) ring dye laser provides the two frequencies, one being the CPM fundamental, the other a portion of the subpicosecond continuum generated in an ethanol cell. Pulse width, power, and spectral characteristics are discussed.

Abstract

We report a novel amplifier for the subpicosecond pulsed output of a colliding-pulse mode-locked ring dye laser. The amplifier produces30-microJ output pulses at 100 Hz by using three stages of amplification pumped by a shortcavity XeCl excimer laser. Pulse-width broadening, spectral shape, and beam quality are discussed.
