Abstract

Summary form only given. Mode-locked Cr:LiSAF lasers are attractive femtosecond (fs)-pulse sources which can directly be pumped by compact diode lasers. Although 14.8-fs pulses were generated using Kr-ion laser as a pumping source, the pulse durations from all-solid-state Cr:LiSAF lasers have been no shorter than 18 fs. In this letter we present what we believe to be the first generation of 12-fs pulses from an all-solid-state femtosecond Cr:LiSAF laser.
