Abstract

By reducing the effects of frequency dependent mode size and intracavity gain saturation of a KLM Ti: sapphire laser, the pulse bandwidth broadening is enhanced significantly. 8.5 fs pulses with the bandwidth of 92 nm at wavelength of 710 nm have been generated directly from this laser and measured with an extracavity group velocity dispersion compensation system.
