Abstract
A cavity-dumped Kerr-lens mode-locked chromium-doped forsterite (Cr:F) lase r was developed. The fundamental frequency of 1270 nm was converted into 63 5 nm by second-harmonic generation in an LBO crystal. A pulse duration of 3 0 fs was obtained at 635 nm with energy of 3.8 nJ. The developed laser was applied to single-wavelength pump-probe measurements of dyes, malachite gre en (MG) and phenol blue (PB).
