Continuously tunable femtosecond pulses are useful in many applications.

Breck Hitz

Tunable femtosecond pulses in the visible spectral region are valuable in numerous applications, including spectroscopy, frequency metrology and confocal microscopy, but the lasers that produce these pulses tend to be bulky, temperamental and expensive. Recently, however, scientists at Universität Konstanz in Germany demonstrated a compact and relatively straightforward solid-state system that produces milliwatts of average power in femtosecond pulses that are continuously tunable from 520 to 700 nm. The first major component of the system was an amplified, mode-locked erbium-doped fiber...Read full article
