ABSTRACT:
A laser system that enables dual-wavelength asynchronous modelocked operation with controllable repetition rates reduces gain competition and wavelength coupling with either inhomogeneously or homogeneously broadened gain media. Another purpose of the laser system is to minimize pulse interaction effects. The system includes a laser excitation device for generating output wavelengths from the gain medium with non-uniform gain profile. Further, the system includes devices for modelocking and coupling the wavelengths generated by the gain medium. The system includes at least one laser cavity for each of the generated wavelengths.
