First Results of an Electrooptically Switched all-in-one Ti:Sapphire Laser

The potential of all-in-one techniques in modern femtosecond solid state lasers is being discussed. For first experiments we designed an electrooptically switched Ti:Sapphire laser. Q-Switching and dumping was performed at half-wave voltages. The generation of ultrashort pulses with energies at the μJ-level in one single cavity seems to be within the realms of possibility.
