Abstract
In a single 15-mm lithium triborate crystal, operated at high gain and strong diffraction, we obtained the spatial mode locking of the quant um noise, its amplification up to the pump level, and quasisoliton pro pagation of the mutually trapped beams. Visible pulses of 1 mu J 1.5 p s were converted, with 50% efficiency, into diffraction-limited superf luorescence, tunable in the range 0.67-2.5 mu m.
