Abstract
For the first time to our knowledge, nearly bandwidth-limited 10-fs la ser pulses centered at 790 nm are generated in a Ti:sapphire ring reso nator. Intracavity dispersion control is provided by dispersive dielec tric mirrors together with the insertion of small amounts of intracavi ty glass path. Mode locking is self-starting without the use of an ape rture. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
