Synchronization of Ti:sapphire and Cr:forsterite mode-locked lasers with 100-attosecond precision by optical-phase...

An optical-phase stabilization technique was utilized to reduce the timing jitter between passively synchronized Ti:sapphire and Cr:forsterite two-color mode-locked lasers. The suppression of cavity-length fluctuation by stabilizing pulse-to-pulse slips of relative carrier-envelope phase allowed timing-jitter reduction by a factor of 1.7, resulting in an rms value of 123 attoseconds (as) in a frequency range from 10 mHz to 1 MHz.
