Abstract
We have generated tunable pulses of less than 55 fsec duration using a synchronously pumped dye laser and pulse compression. These are the shortest tunable pulses that have been reported to date. The pulses are produced at a repetition rate of 4 MHz yielding much higher average powers than in previous pulse compression experiments. We have also constructed a unique dispersive delay line with the potential of very high throughputs.
