摘要：

We report a new technique to increase the stability of mode-locked pulses from a TEA-CO2 laser. It consists essentially in the mode locking of a hybrid laser. Moreover, with the low-pressure cw gain cell operating, the pulsewidth varies as α-1.1, where a is the modulation parameter, in contrast to the α-0.5 dependence without the cw gain module. This permits easy tuning of the pulse width between 1.8 and 10 nsec. A model is presented that agrees well with our experimental results. © 1979, Optical Society of America.
