Abstract
We report the generation of pulses with energies as high as 100 nJ and durations as short as 50 fs directly from a mode-locked Ti:Al2O3 lase r, using the technique of cavity dumping. The simplicity, high energy, short pulse widths, and variable repetition rate of this system make it an attractive tunable source for ultrafast measurements.
