Generation of synchronized trains of picosecond laser pulses at two wavelengths in a single-cavity synchronously mode-locked dye laser

Abstract

Synchronized trains of 5 ps pulses at two wavelengths were generated in a single-cavity synchronously pumped dye laser containing a mixture of two dyes in a single jet and intracavity spatial masking for frequency selection. The utilization of this dual wavelength dye laser to monitor the relaxation of photoexcited carriers in multiple quantum wells was demonstrated.
