Abstract
A process for operation of a laser device ( ) is described, whereby circulating light pulses each comprising spectral components according to a plurality of longitudinal modes of a resonator configuration ( ) are generated in the resonator configuration ( ) and subjected to a compensation of group velocity dispersion, and a predetermined linear dispersion is introduced into the light path of the resonator configuration ( ), so that at least one mode has a predetermined frequency and/or the mode distance between the modes has a predetermined value. Furthermore, regulations for stabilizing the laser device on the basis of this process and applications of the regulations for the generation for stabilized, ultra-short light pulses, generation of optical frequencies and in the frequency and/or time measuring technique as well as in the spectroscopy are described.
