Abstract

Passive modelocking of several flash-lamp pumped neodymium lasers with electro-optic amplitude stabilization is demonstrated using a nonlinear Michelson interferometer. Improved performance is reported for the GSGG- YLF- and glass-laser as compared to the nonlinear absorber, with shorter pulse durations and smaller amplitude fluctuations, e.g. 5 μJ pulses for 460 ± 20 fs for Nd:glass. Evidence is obtained for multi-selfstability of the pulse energy.
