Femtosecond pulse generation from a titanium-doped sapphire laser using nonlinear external cavity feedback.
A continuous-wave, argon-ion-pumped, titanium-doped sapphire laser has been constructed. Pulses of 80-psec duration obtained through active mode locking have been compressed to less than 800 fsec using nonlinear external cavity feedback.
