Abstract
The exploitation of soliton-like pulse shaping mechanisms and the optimization of phase dispersion in broadband self-modelocked solid state laser oscillators have led to unprecedented advances in ultrafast laser technology. This paper reviews the basic physical mechanisms governing pulse formation and addresses the requirements for optimum performance of these novel ultrashort pulse laser sources. These considerations together with the demonstration of /spl ap/10 fs pulse generation from a Ti:sapphire laser suggest that a family of solid-state laser oscillators with comparable performance can be developed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
