Abstract

We report the generation of femtosecond pulses in the near infrared by passive mode-locking of a cw Rh700/HITCI dispersion-compensated ring dye laser. Pulses as short as 50 fs at 800 nm have been produced for the first time to our knowledge. Titanium sapphire multipass amplifiers have been studied to increase the energy of the pulses to the millijoule level.
