Abstract
Many recent developments in picosecond pulsed-laser technology have been motivated by the need for higher sensitivity, better measurement precision and, above all improved and reliable time-resolution in the study of primary photoprocesses. Although solid-state lasers are advantageous to us because of their intrinsic high power, they suffer from instability and the need to compromise between repetition-rate and pulse-duration.
