Generation of 36-fsec pulses near 775 nm from a colliding-pulse passively mode-locked dye laser.
We report the passive mode locking of a cw Rhodamine 700 dye laser using the saturable absorber DDI. Pulses as short as 36 fsec near 775 nm have been produced in a colliding-pulse mode-locked dye laser with adjustable intracavity group-velocity dispersion.
