Abstract
A cw Rhodamine 6G dye laser with a thin optically contacted saturable absorber cell has been mode locked over an operating frequency range of 598–615 nm to produce pulses with durations as short as 0.3 ps. The pulses, with sech2 intensity profiles, are practically bandwidth limited.Keywords
