“…Similar work in a Nd:silicate ring system by Tomov et a f (1977aTomov et a f ( , b, 1979 has been touched on in 94.2.5. Comparing the operation of their hybrid Nd:,silicate laser with a standard passive system, Kishida and Yamane (1976) noted the improved reproducibility and the insensitivity to external feedback and excess pumping, while Seka and Bunkenburg (1978) stressed the well-defined nature of the second threshold (see § 6.3.2) in their Nd :phosphate system and the consequent absence of 'failed' shots. Burgess et a1 (1981) presented results from a flashlamppumped Rhodamine 6G dye laser; passive mode-locking is fairly reliable in dye lasers and the primary motivation of this work was the ability to control the timing of the pulses.…”

Ultrashort laser pulses are finding increasing application in numerous branches of science and technology. This article is an attempt to provide a comprehensive review of the whole field of ultrashort pulse generation, covering both the experimental and the theoretical aspects of the subject. By far the commonest method of generating pulses in the picosecond and subpicosecond regime is the technique known as 'modelocking' and it is with this that the review is therefore largely concerned. After introductory remarks and a simple treatment of some of the general principles, the central sections of the review deal with the main generic techniques, namely spontaneous mode-locking, active mode-locking (including mode-locking by synchronous pumping) and passive mode-locking. Within each section the material is organised into three main categories, namely ( a ) general background, ( b ) historical survey (mainly relating to experimental work and densely packed with references to published work) and (c) theoretical methods (presented with a strongly pedagogical flavour). A major section at the end deals with a mass of important (and mostly recent) work that does not fit naturally into the main framework of the review. This includes USP generation in semiconductor lasers, a number of special methods such as injection mode-locking (and others where two or more mode-locking techniques are combined), as well as chopping and switching techniques.

“…The improved reliability is consistent with the fluctuation model, though the experimental result was obtained empirically. The 20% probability of double pulsing or 'no lase' operation of the dye-switched YAG oscillator have led to the development of active/passive mode-locked oscillators (Tomov et a1 1976, Kishida and Yamane 1976, Seka and Bunkenberg 1978. Possibly the best system for reliable reproducible mode locking is the complex active mode-locked (see $2.4.3.2) active @switched system developed by Kuizenger (1977).…”

“…The shot-to-shot reproducibility of the Nd:glass lasers has been improved considerably by the combined active and passive mode-locking [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Theoretical investigations of the simultaneous active and passive mode-locking are found in refs.…”

The performance of an active-passive mode-locked and mechanically Q-switched Nd: glass laser is investigated. The mechanical chopper used for Q-switching reduces the temporal pulse train jitter. The acousto-optic modulator stabilizes the pulse trains. The wavelength tuning from 1048.5 nm to 1069.5 nm for a Nd:phosphate glass (Schott LG-703) and from 1056.2 nm to 1078.3 nm for a Nd: silicate glass (Schott LG 680) is achieved with a 5 mm thick single-plate birefringent filter.
