Picosecond and femtosecond pulse generation near 1000 nm from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG-pumped cw dye laser.
We report efficient synchronous mode locking of a 532-nm pumped cw dye laser tunable from 840 to 1030 nm, using a styryl compound as the gain medium. Hybrid synchronously pumped, passive mode locking of the laser using the saturable absorber DaQTeC generated 230-fsec pulses near 975 nm.
