title: Generation of sub-10-fs pulses from a Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr(3+):LiCAF laser oscillator by use of third-order dispersion-compensating double-chirped mirrors.
abstract: Pulses as short as 9 fs at 220-mW average power and a 97-MHz repetition rate are generated from a cw Ti:sapphire-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr(3+)LiCAF laser oscillator employing broadband double-chirped mirrors for second- and third-order dispersion compensation. Fine adjustment of dispersion is accomplished with a fused-silica prism pair. The result demonstrates that Raman-induced self-frequency shifting of the pulse does not limit sub-10-fs pulse generation from colquiriite crystals.
