Intra-cavity gain shaping of mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser oscillations

Abstract: The gain properties of an oscillator strongly affect its behavior. When the gain is homogeneous, different modes compete for gain resources in a 'winner takes all' manner, whereas with inhomogeneous gain, modes can coexist if they utilize different gain resources. We demonstrate precise control over the mode competition in a mode locked Ti:sapphire oscillator by manipulation and spectral shaping of the gain properties, thus steering the competition towards a desired, otherwise inaccessible, oscillation.
