Abstract

The passive mode locking of a CW Rhodamine 110 dye laser in various dispersion compensated cavities is reported. Using the dye 1, 1, 3, 3, 3', 3'-hexamethylindocarbocyanine iodide (HICI) as the saturable absorber, pulses as short as 80 fs have been obtained from a CPM ring laser operating at a wavelength of 581 nm.
