Abstract

A line narrowed XeCl oscillator/amplifier has been used to generate pulses of ≤100 ps duration by a combination of stimulated Brillouin scattering and optical breakdown. In addition, a Brillouin mirror has been used to control the amplified spontaneous emission in an injection mode-locked XeCl oscillator.
