Abstract
Several years ago the introduction of colliding-pulse mode locking for the first time allowed the generation of stable femtosecond light pulses in passively mode-locked ring lasers.1 Meanwhile the pulse shaping processes within a laser resonator are well understood and alternative mode-locking techniques, e.g., the use of antiresonant ring lasers or hybrid mode locking, are used to generate femtosecond light pulses. Up to now the emission of femtosecond dye lasers has been restricted to wavelengths between 600 and 635 nm, where the absorber and amplifier dyes DODCI and rhodamine 6G are applied.
