GENERATION AND AMPLIFICATION OF ULTRASHORT OPTICAL PULSES

During the last two years since the 1966 Iternational Quantum Electronics Conference further progress toward obtaining high-power light pulses has taken place. An effective method of ultrashort light pulse generation (mode locking) has been developed, further development of the method of coherent amplification of light pulses has been recorded, and new prospective ideas have been put forward. The present paper briefly reports on the data obtained by us in these directions. Copyright © 1968 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
