Research Investigation of the Generation, Measurement, and Properties of Picosecond Laser Pulses.

Abstract

The report summarizes a number of research projects concerned with the generation, measurement, and properties of picosecond laser pulses produced by mode-locked lasers. Topics discussed include a theory of the two photon absorption-fluorescence method of pulse width measurement, a statistical model of the mode-locking process that is capable of explaining many of the observed features, a comparison of the model with experimental results, experiments with time-resolved spectroscopy and experiments with a novel type of nonlinear optical element that is potentially useful for mode-locking.
