Quasi-synchronous pumping of modelocked few-cycle Titanium Sapphire lasers.
We investigate the modelocking dynamics of quasi-synchronously pumped, dispersion managed Kerr-lens modelocked Titanium-Sapphire lasers. For the first time, self-starting few-cycle laser pulses with 6 fs pulse duration and ultrabroadband optical spectra are demonstrated without using any intracavity elements like saturable absorbers.
