Abstract
In the new class of CW-pumped widely tunable femtosecond solid-state self-modelocked lasers [1], dispersive phenomena represent an important limit. We present the first complete measurements of intracavity dispersion in a "live" femtosecond modelocked laser. These measurements illustrate the importance of higher order dispersion and its effects on the modelocking physics in the operating laser, and show for the first time the dispersive behavior of a complete operating system.
