ABSTRACT:
A high-repetition laser system for generating ultra-short pulses according to the principle of pulse decoupling is described. This is achieved by the use of an amplifying laser medium, a laser resonator with at least one resonator mirror and at least one pulse decoupling component, a saturable absorber mirror, and a pump source for pumping the laser medium wherein the pulse decoupling component is an electro-optical modulator.
