Controllable harmonic mode locking and multiple pulsing in a Ti:sapphire laser.
A new way to control the harmonic mode-locking and multiple pulsing operation with the pulse duration unaffected of a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser was demonstrated. When the effective nonlinear length of the nonlinear medium which was inserted in the Ti:sapphire laser was varied by changing the position of the medium or the pump power of the laser, stable harmonic mode-locking and multiple-pulse operation were observed.
