  • Analyzed the pulse train stability and pulse shortening dynamics.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully obtained stationary ultrashort light pulses with 10-picosecond (psec) duration and 10 microjoule (µJ) pulse energy.
    • Achieved high energy stability, with variations better than +/-1.5% in the steady-state pulse train (approx. 90 pulses).
    • Demonstrated that maximum pulse compression is reached rapidly, within approximately 10 round trips.

    Conclusions:

    • The integration of a GaAs two-photon absorption limiter effectively enhances the stability and energy of ultrashort pulses from a mode-locked Nd:YAG laser.
    • The laser system demonstrates efficient pulse shortening dynamics, reaching maximum compression in a minimal number of round trips.
    • This method provides a robust approach for generating high-quality ultrashort laser pulses for demanding applications.
