        "abstract": "Design considerations are discussed for a simple, easy to use and relatively efficient high gain dye laser amplifier chain for CW mode-locked dye lasers. The amplifier boosts the output of a synchronously mode-locked dye laser to obtain \u2248005 mj, \u2264 1 psec pulses over a \u2248 400 \u00c5 bandwidth. These pulses are suitable for efficient Raman Shifting, frequency mixing and continuum generation to vastly extend the spectral range of the system. Our amplifier is pumped by a frequency doubled Nd:YAG oscillator only, which longitudinally pumps three identical brewster cells with the same flowing dye solution in each. Contrary to popular belief, high small signal gains (\u2265 105) are easily attained in a single stage with longitudinal pumping, with better beam homogeneity and easier alignment than transverse pumping. Gain saturation measurements are presented which agree well with calculations. Factors which relax the pump timing sensitivity are examined. The importance of gain saturation for both efficient amplification and for amplitude stability is also discussed. The need for isolated amplifier stages is stressed and optimal amplifier cell areas for a given stage are calculated.",

        "abstract": "Over the past several years there has been a continued interest in the generation of picosecond pulses from semiconductor diode lasers. We report here some preliminary results from an experiment to investigate the picosecond carrier and lasing dynamics of high quality buried heterostructure (BH) diode lasers using techniques similar to those outlined in earlier work with stripe lasers. The GaAs-AlGaAs BH lasers, shown in Fig. 1, were grown in our lab with a transparent contact over the active waveguiding region to allow optical pumping as well as the usual electrical operation, and had typical threshold currents in the 20\u201330 ma range. Electrical operation was required for alignment into the optical measurement system to be described below, but was used only for this purpose.",
