Abstract

Improved operation of a 10 Hz, hybrid-modelocked glass laser is reported. Generating transient cavity losses during the nonlinear regime of pulse formation yields shorter pulses of 2.5 ps duration and improved reproducibility. The background level of satellite pulses is simultaneously reduced by more than one order of magnitude.
