摘要：

We generated self-starting sub-10-fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser using a combination of a broadband semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), novel double-chirped mirrors, and Kerr-lens modelocking. We present a detailed overview of broadband SESAMs used in Ti:sapphire lasers and discuss their design issues. Using such a SESAM to assist the KLM process, we have generated pulses with a duration of only 6.5 fs, the shortest to date directly from the laser. Pulses as short as 13 fs were generated by soliton modelocking alone. Higher-order dispersion compensation was achieved with novel double-chirped mirrors in combination with intracavity prisms.
