title: Intracavity femtosecond-pulse compression with the addition of highly nonlinear organic materials.
abstract: It is experimentally shown that using organic materials of high nonlinear refractive index dissolved in a saturable-absorber solution permits femtosecond-pulse compression in a simple colliding-pulse mode-locked laser employing cavity-mirror dispersion adjustment.
