摘要
A double-chirped mirror structure with broadband negative dispersion was realized with semiconductor technology. The necessary high precision of the fabrication was achieved by using special calibration structures. A single reflection on the obtained low-loss mirror produces sufficient negative dispersion for dispersion compensation in a femtosecond laser cavity. In this way we demonstrate 200 fs pulses from a compact Nd:glass laser without any additional dispersion compensation. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)00341-1].
