The correlation of mode locked pulse and femtosecond pulse generation by ultrafast Ti:sapphire laser in the stability region

摘要

The correlation between mode locked pulse and its corresponding femtosecond generation are reported. A non-self starting Ti:sapphire laser was aligned to induce mode locked pulse. The cavity length was adjusted in the range from 104 to 105 mm to stabilize the mode locked pulse train. The mode locked pulse was recorded via high speed oscilloscope at various cavity lengths in the stability region. The corresponding femtosecond pulse generation was simultaneously measured via autocorrelator. This is referred as conjugate method. The result shows that the femtosecond pulse found to be having a linear relationship with mode locked pulse with the conversion efficiency achieved up to 8%.
