Generation of optical pulses shorter than 0.1 psec by colliding pulse mode locking

Generation of optical pulses shorter than 0.1 psec by colliding pulse mode locking

We report a novel passive mode-locking technique in which two synchronized counterpropagating pulses interact in a thin, saturable absorber to produce a short pulse. Continuous stable trains of pulses shorter than 0.1 psec are obtained using a ring laser configuration.
