Abstract
A method of generating fs laser pulses (), includes steps of creating a circulating light field in a resonator cavity () with multiple resonator mirrors (-) by pumping at least one gain medium () included in the resonator cavity (), and passing the circulating light field through a first Kerr medium () included in the resonator cavity (), so that the fs laser pulses () are formed by self-amplitude modulation of the circulating light field, wherein the resonator cavity () includes at least one supplementary Kerr medium (-) enhancing the self-amplitude modulation of the circulating light field, and each of the first Kerr medium () and the at least one supplementary Kerr medium (-) provide different non-linear Kerr lens contributions to the self-amplitude modulation of the circulating light field. Laser pulse source apparatus () for generating fs laser pulses () is also described.
