Abstract
The development of the Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser [1] has had a great impact on ultrafast spectroscopy. Special versions have permitted the generation of pulses shorter than 10 fs [2,3]. Recently two pulse trains operating at different wavelengths were produced in a single laser system [4–7,9] and were reported to be synchronized to better than 50 fs. This two-color laser appears to be a promising tool for ultrafast experiments; unfortunately, the poor tunability of the reported systems turns out to be a serious hinderance for general applications in spectroscopy.
