Research in nonlinear opticsA theoretical investigation revealed that a steady state mode-locked solution appropriate to ultrashort pulses is induced by Kerr liquids. An experimental investigation using a Q-switched ruby laser passively mode-locked by the insertion of a Kerr liquid verified the theory. Pulses of about 10 to the -11th power sec were generated when the relaxation time of the liquid was temperature tuned to approximately 10 to the -11th power sec.
