摘要
A passive stabilization technique for a synchronously pumped dye laser is demonstrated. Using a linear external cavity a minute fraction of the pulse is split off and superimposed back to the main laser pulse. Even an extremely weak feedback pulse - whose energy corresponds to that one of a few single photons - leads to the generation of nearly Fourier-transform limited pulses and to a drastic reduction of the high frequency components of the pulse energy fluctuations.
