Abstract
Triple mode locking of the argon-ion and dye lasers has been recently reported1 as a technique for generating ultrashort pulses at three tunable wavelengths with good interpulse synchronism. This technique has the advantage of maintaining the high repetition rate (≈100 MHz) of mode-locked lasers for signal averaging purposes while still having multiwavelength short-pulse operation. There is no need to amplify (at a much lower repetition rate), generate a continuum, and then attenuate the resultant pulses anyway because of the need to avoid nonlinearities in many experiments.
