Abstract
Titanium doped sapphire (Ti:Al2O3) lasers have turned out to be efficient, reliable tunable laser systems in the visible and near infrared spectral region[l,2]. Due to their large gain bandwidth they can produce transform limited mode locked pulses with sub-picosecond pulselength and considerable peak power[3–7]. In conjunction with efficient nonlinear crystals they are well suited for frequency conversion processes which should lead to tunable sub-picosecond pulses in wavelength ranges so far not easily accessible with lasers. The large tuning range of the Ti: Al2O3 laser makes such a system in particular very attractive for the generation of tunable sub-picosecond pulses in the blue, uv and even the vuv spectral region.KeywordsTuning RangeSapphire LaserTuning CurveIdle WaveInfrared Spectral RegionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
