Abstract

We realized stable synchronization between a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser and a picosecond $\mathrm{Nd}:\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{O}}_4$ laser by using a precise phase-locked loop technology; ultrashort laser pulses at a wavelength around $460\mathrm{nm}$ were generated by frequency mixing both laser branches. This work demonstrated a feasible way to extend the available ultrashort laser wavelength through nonlinear frequency mixing technology.
