SELF MODE-LOCKING AND SATURATION PULSE SHARPENING IN A ROTATING MIRROR Q-SWITCHED CO2 LASER.

Abstract

Observation of self mode-locked pulses with a rotating mirror Q-switched CO2 laser is reported. Pulses as short as 10 nsec, narrower than the normal CO2 linewidth limit, were obtained. The shortness of these pulses is attributed to saturation broadening of the pulse spectrum. (Author)
