摘要
We have demonstrated a reduction of the timing jitter between passively synchronized Ti:sapphire and Cr:forsterite mode-locked lasers into a 100-attosecond (as) regime by suppressing slow fluctuations with the use of active slow-bandwidth extracavity feedback. This active-passive hybrid synchronization scheme permits the achievement of timing jitters of 98 +/- 18 as at a bandwidth of 100 kHz and of 126 +/- 20 as at a bandwidth of 1 MHz for as long as 100 s.
