ABSTRACT:
A laser system for generating self-starting few cycle laser pulses or widely tunable laser pulses is provided. The laser system includes a modelocked pump source that provides a pulsed pump signal. A gain medium receives the pulsed pump signal. A resonator structure includes the gain medium and a plurality of mirrors. The resonator structure defines a laser operated in a CW-modelocked regime generating few-cycle laser pulses having a duration less then 30 fs.
