Abstract
We report on two-wavelength operation of a CPM ring dye laser employing Rhodamine 6G as gain medium and a new styryl dye as saturable absorber. Two trains of femtosecond pulses at different wavelengths are simultaneously generated under proper alignment of the laser. The secondary pulse train is attributed to the laser action of the absorber dye. Auto- and cross-correlation measurements are performed to determine the temporal characteristics of the laser in the double mode-locking regime.
