Abstract

We report on synchronously pumping a 1.3-μm dye laser. In contrast to an earlier experiment1 we employed for excitation Nd:YAG pulses that had been compressed in a fiber-grating-pair arrangement from 90 to 4 ps. This results in directly producing clean pulses with a minimum width of 300 fs. Compared to excitation with longer pump pulses, where mode locking is restricted to a range close to threshold, emission is perfectly stable over a wide range of pump powers and averages as well as peak output power are much higher.
