Femtosecond Ti:Sapphire Oscillator Electro-Optically Cavity Dumped at 50 kHz

Use of a transverse KD?P Pockels cell and novel low-loss sapphire Rochon polarizer to cavity dump a hard-aperture, Kerr-lens mode-locked, Ti:sapphire oscillator is demonstrated. High-quality 90-fs pulses with energies of ~50 nJ at repetition rates of up to 50 kHz were obtained.
