Title: Generation of optical pulses shorter than 0.1 psec by colliding pulse mode-locking
Abstract: We report a new technique for passive mode-locking lasers in which a key pulse shortening mechanism is the interaction of two oppositely directed pulses in a thin saturable absorber. Because of the central role played by this interaction or collision, we refer to the process as colliding pulse mode-locking (CPM).
