Abstract: A mode-locked Nd-glass laser with a ring cavity configuration has been made. With this laser, using a resonator made with prisms instead of mirrors, a stable TEM00 mode is obtained. Two photon measurements performed on the whole pulse train consistently yield a pulsewidth of 3.5 ps, with the proper contrast ratio 3:1.
