Passive mode locking and dispersion measurement of a sub-100-fs Cr(4+):YAG laser.
We report the passive mode locking of a Cr(4+):YAG laser by use of a moving mirror and the generation of pulses as short as 70 fs by use of Kerr-lens mode locking. The intracavity dispersion has been measured, and the laser performance has been related to water absorption lines.
